The benefits of using backup software

• The main advantage of backup software is that it saves time. You don't have to do a lot of heavy lifting, and you don't have to be a computer expert to launch automatic back-ups of your computer system. All you have to do is set the parameters from the outset so that the back-ups are launched automatically when you decide. Above all, remember not to schedule the launch of this action while your teams and colleagues are working, as this could cause a real slowdown on your network. We strongly recommend that you schedule the start of your backup at a time when your offices are closed or on a day when there are few people around. The best is to schedule it for Friday evening so that you can back up the week's changes.
• Security is also guaranteed with the use of backup software. There's no risk of data loss because the recording is done automatically. There's no need for human intervention to keep your data safe. With a lot of handling between different computers or servers, you could very well forget to copy a file that would subsequently be overwritten or deleted. Backup software does not omit any file and restores each piece of data as it was saved.

Selection criteria

It's not easy to decide which software is best for you. That's why we suggest you ask yourself a few questions before taking the plunge. Take the time to compare and find out :

• Backup speed: There's no point in choosing automatic backup software that takes too long and could get in the way of your operations. Backup should be quick and not interfere with your normal routine.
• The level of security and encryption of your software: will it be effective enough to ensure that your computer data is not falsified or hacked. Even if there is no such thing as zero risk, you need to be sure that your information is really protected, even if it's free backup software.
• Compatibility with your network's operating system : For most businesses, the operating system is Windows. But you can also work on Mac OS X. The software you choose must be able to adapt to these types of systems.
• Compatibility with your hardware, whether hard disk, server or cloud.
• Ergonomic interface: Test the automatic backup software and see how easy it is to use. It should be pleasant to use and you shouldn't have to spend long minutes trying to understand how the software works. Try to rely on software that is very intuitive.
• Data compression: To save space and avoid needing a huge storage space, some software offers to compress data to take up as little space as possible.
