Cloud Storage - Backup
I have been accumulating "stuff" lately since my daughter born and I need to find places to store all my stuff.
It seems that everyone that uses computer or mobile device spends a lot of time acquiring new data and then trying to find a way to store it.
For some users, finding enough storage space to hold all the data is a real challenge. People will invest in larger hard drives or external storage. Desperate computer users might delete the old files in order to make space for new data.
As for me, I choose Cloud Storage where i am able to retrieve my data from any location and devices that has internet access and allow my friends to access large files easily.
Best part is I wouldn't need to carry around a physical storage device or using the same computer to retrieve my data.
It act as a backup for me if anything happens to my computer like hardware failure, my data would still remain at the Cloud. It's a digital-age variation of " Don't Put All Your Eggs In One Basket"
At its most basic level, a cloud storage system needs just to connect to Server using the Internet. A clients install in Computer or devices sends copies of files over the Internet to the data server(Cloud Storage Hosting), which then records the information. When the client wishes to retrieve the information, we just need to accesses the data server through a Web-based interface. The server then either sends the files back to the client or allows the client to access and manipulate the files on the server itself.
Cloud storage systems generally rely on hundreds of data servers. Because computers occasionally require maintenance or repair, it's important to store the same information on multiple machines. This is called redundancy. Without redundancy, a cloud storage system couldn't ensure clients that they could access their information at any given time. Most systems store the same data on servers that use different power supplies. That way, clients can access their data even if one power supply fails.
Mega is providing 50GB free online storage. You can even subscribe to Dropbox and many other cloud storage provider if you wish to have more storage for your online storage.
