The risks of basing our entire working ecosystem "on the cloud" has inherent dangers which are widely known throughout the public domain. Of course, the sheer convenience of having all one's documents, photos, emails, metadata, passwords and authenticator codes backed up to a "safe" online storage place sounds idyllic - but is it? Every week we hear of data leaks, hacker exploits and the litigation that often follows. Last week millions of private, personal medical records were being offered online. Who takes responsibility for this kind of malevolent subversion?
The question is: how safe is your online data? We've seen the best of online security compromised at times, either by human error, back door entries, international hacker activity and novel software exploits.
Another consideration is what happens when there's a power outage, or an undersea cable cut? You may have a solar battery backup to keep operating, but what about your data? In times of war and espionage, the first casualty is essential infrastructure. Globalisation hasn't helped. Undersea cables cut by ship anchors or underwater subversive activity is now the norm.
With online services offering generous free cloud storage, such as One-Drive, Drop-Box and Google-Drive, it's easy to absolve any personal responsibility for the safety and accessibility of your data; many don't regularly backup to an external hard disk drive or local NAS (Network Attached Storage). Thus, an online solution seems ideal, with your PC or phone simply existing as a thin client.
Our recommendation, whether you work partially or entirely online, or totally locally, is to backup locally daily. This is easy to automate with regularly synchronising with a local NAS or networked PC. A spare external backup hard disk drive can be regularly swapped out and kept safe in an alternate location, keeping safe a recent Windows System Image or Macrium IMG backup. So, should you be hit with ransomware or experience some other unforeseen anomaly, you have a complete backup redundancy, and are not reliant on the "cloud." Local ecosystems with little reliance on cloud storage means that you have full control and access to your data.
Need further advice or help? Please don't hesitate to contact us. At the very least, backup every day.
