Why is backup important?

“Backing up” is the practice of copying or storing important data for safety purposes so that if the system crashes, either from a virus or hacker, the original data may get lost. In those circumstances, the copied data will come for rescue. Thus, backing up your data is very important because software can be reinstalled but data can neither be reinstalled nor can be recovered. It is essential for the smooth running of business without any problems and for continuity of the business.
