Frequently Asked Questions About Online Secure Backup
What is file backup?
It’s a simple way to protect your digital photos, business records, music and documents. Webroot’s security software now allows you to automatically save computer files to our secure online storage site or any local device. If your hard drive crashes, your laptop is stolen, or any other damage or loss occurs, your information is safe.
Why do I need backup?
Two in five PC users have lost files stored on their computers. In 2007, it happened to 46 million people in the U.S. and UK alone. Anything can cause loss: hard drive failure, viruses, accidental deletion and more. If you keep photos, music, documents, contact information or financial records on your computer, you need backup to keep them protected.
Is online backup safe?
As a global security leader, Webroot provides three-tiered encryption that keeps your information private and secure. Our online storage is the best way to protect your data, but you can also set automatic backups to local devices like USB drives, CDs or DVDs.
Is it difficult?
Setup is quick and easy, even for novice computer users. Once it’s done, you never have to remember to back up files again. Simply choose local or online backup, then schedule automatic backups to occur daily, weekly or monthly. Webroot does all the rest!
