Backing up data implies making copies of the most important files and folders in different location than the original items, such as another drive, a FTP server or an online hosting platform.
Users can select the backup type that suits them best: full, incremental, differential or mirror.
Additionally, some backup creators enable users to schedule their backups so that they start automatically at a chosen time.
Another way to backup data is to set an application to synchronize the contents of two locations as frequent as the user needs it.
