Answer

While backing up your data to tapes, CDs, DVDs, ZIP disks or other removable storage devices is certainly better than not backing up at all, these methods are inferior to online backup. First, there is the inconvenience of having to store these types of storage devices offsite. Otherwise, your backups may be destroyed along with your computer(s) in the event of a fire, flood or theft. In today’s world, onsite backup really is not considered backing up. Second, if you backup only to removable storage devices, you run the risk of losing your data because tapes, hard drives, even CDs and DVDs all eventually fail. Third, recovering files can be a tedious and difficult process.
Online backup, on the other hand, eliminates the hassles and the worries of traditional onsite backup. Online backup is easy to use, automatic, secure, scalable and affordable. Moreover, online backup requires nothing more than a computer and an Internet connection
