yes…data security is very immportant in data management. very nice post.
It is really good.I like it very much.
Some good services being reviewed there – I always like to back-up off-line too as a belt and braces approach – memory sticks for small but essential and portable items, and a solid state external drive for system back-ups.
Thanks for your comment Mack
There is another option to backup data to cloud storage powered by Amazon S3. Check out CloudBerry Backup. It is onetime fee and the rest what you pay for Amazon S3. Besides, there is no proprietary data format and you can access your data using other Amazon s3 tools. It supports all AWS regions, Reduced Redundancy Storage and access to cloud storage using the virtual drive.

How does VaultPress compare to these 5? I am looking to automatically back up a WordPress site and database and am looking for a service that is reliable and must be easy to use.
Whilst online backup has become a popular and effective method of backing up your data it is also a good idea to have some form of local backup. This hybrid approach will give you the best of both worlds allowing immediate recovery of data as well as offsite protection.
These are great services being reviewed! Thanks for the great addition.
