"The files are the most important part of your computer".
We all have critical files on our computers. Whether they are personal correspondence, work related or digital pictures of the family, they are as important, as they are irreplaceable.
There are many ways data can be lost including hardware failure, fire, theft or accidental damage. In any of these scenarios, your computer can either be repaired or replaced. However, your data cannot. This makes having a backup routine essential.
Any backup which is NOT REMOTE from the computer is at the same risk from fire, theft or accidental damage as the computer itself. For this reason most businesses store backups at a remote site. This facility is now available in the home with 'The Elephant'.
All conventional backup methods such as floppy disks, zip drives and tape backups require installation and set up. They also require user interaction to perform the backup. After being installed, 'The Elephant' automatically backs up the selected files every day.
