Computer Tips:

Taking Care of Your Backup Media

By: Robert Palmer


  • Backing up data on a regular basis has become a much-needed practice among businesses and individuals these days.

  • Which Data Backup to Choose?

    It is important to analyze your needs before deciding on your backup option. Different users have different requirements and hence the data backup preference will also differ. For example, while a home or home office user may create data backups on a USB drive, it may not be a very good option for a large business to use a USB drive because the amount of data for a large business is bound to be huge. Therefore, it is important to understand the various data backup media.

  • Different Data Backup Media Available in the Market: Pros and Cons of Each Media

    There are many data backup media available in the market. Let us analyze the various data backup media available in the market to better understand your choice of data backup media. We will also discuss the pros and cons of each backup media to aid your understanding.

  • Using CDs and DVD's as Data Backup Media

    This option will work best if you are a home or home office user. Creating data backups on CDs and DVD's is an inexpensive way to backup your data. You can store up to 800 MB of data on a CD. The data storage capacity is even higher for DVD's. DVD's can store up to 5 GB of data. The cost of backing up your data per MB is significantly reduced if you opt for CDs and DVD's. However, backing up your data on CDs and DVD's. can be a time-consuming process. If your files are huge in size then you may have to use multiple CDs and DVD's., which can be a cumbersome process. In addition, CDs and DVD's. are very prone to scratches which eventually make your data unreadable. Therefore, if you must use CDs or DVD's. as your data backup option, you will have to create multiple CDs or DVD's. of your data.


  • Using Flash Drives as Data Backup Media

    Flash drives are the easiest way to store, carry, and backup your data. These drives are portables and very easy to carry. In addition, they are very resistant to erroneous human handling and can survive even falling from your hand. Again, this data backup option too is best suited for home and home office users. However, if you want to store large amounts of data, this can be an expensive option. Most pen drives come with limited storage capacity and the cost increases significantly as the storage capacity increases.


  • Using Portable Hard Disks as Data Backup Media

    Portable hard disks are the much loved data backup option especially amongst small businesses. They are very cheap as compared to tape drive systems and you can get excellent storage space capacity. Portable hard drives can store upward of 120 GB. The portable nature of these devices makes them ideal for office as well as offsite backups. Portable hard disks, like the fixed hard disks, are extremely fragile. This is probably one of the worst drawbacks. Therefore, users have to be extremely careful in handling and storing portable hard drives. Cost of data recovery from portable hard drives can be much higher because most hard drives can only be operated inside the clean room facility.


  • Using Tape Drives as Data Backup Media

    Many businesses still tend to use tape drives for backing up their data. Tape drives can store several GB of data. However, when you compare tape drives with the CDs and DVD's. as backup media, tape drives are a more expensive option. Repeatedly buying tape cartridges can be expensive. In addition, a tape drive can be very expensive to buy. Most people complain of the performance of the tape drives because of their inability to retrieve the data successfully. Tape drives are extremely fragile and have to be stored extremely carefully. In addition, tape drives need to be checked on a regular basis to ensure that your backed data is secure. Some people prefer creating multiple tapes of the same data to ensure that they have a backup of their backup. However, this can be a cumbersome process.
