Back it Up!!!!

In information technology, backup refers to making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. These additional copies are typically called "backups." Backups are useful primarily for two purposes. The first is to restore a state following a disaster (called disaster recovery). The second is to restore small numbers of files after they have been accidentally deleted or corrupted.Data loss is also very common. 66% of internet users have suffered from serious data loss.

Since a backup system contains at least one copy of all data worth saving, the data storage requirements are considerable. Organizing this storage space and managing the backup process is a complicated undertaking. A data repository model can be used to provide structure to the storage. In the modern era of computing there are many different types of data storage devices that are useful for making backups. There are also many different ways in which these devices can be arranged to provide geographic redundancy, data security, and portability.

Before data is sent to its storage location, it is selected, extracted, and manipulated. Many different techniques have been developed to optimize the backup procedure. These include optimizations for dealing with open files and live data sources as well as compression, encryption, and de-duplication, among others. Many organizations and individuals try to have confidence that the process is working as expected and work to define measurements and validation techniques. It is also important to recognize the limitations and human factors involved in any backup scheme.

Welcome to My Blog...

Greetings and Welcome to my Blog!!!

I am a student at the University of Toledo. As part of my Podcasting, Vodcasting and Blogging class I have set-up this blog. I have absolutely NO experience with blogging. I am learning more and more each day.

As part of this class, I will maintain this blog updating in frequently with interesting tidbits regarding Information Technology. I plan to use this knowledge in the near future to assist non-for-profits (mainly churches) to increase to interest in their websites.

I am looking forward to gaining knowledge in these areas.
