The National Information Technology Development Agency has advised telecommunications subscribers and other users of technology appliances to adopt multiple back-up approach to guarantee data protection.
The World Back-up Day originally began as ‘World Back-up Month.’ The event was initiated by a hard drive company , which was later acquired by Seagate Technology. “Follow the 3/2/1 back-up rule with three copies of your data, two on different media types, and one remote copy . Be sure to back up your data regularly and encourage your family, friends, and colleagues to do the same.”
It added that the World Back-up Day aims to raise awareness concerning the role of data in human lives and consequently the importance of undertaking regular data backup.
