Do you have backup of your Google Docs?
Do you have backup of Google Docs?
Why should I keep a backup of my Google Docs documents? They’re stored on Google’s cloud servers so they’re completely safe, right? Even if my computer breaks down due to power outage, disk failure or natural disasters, my documents will still be on the Google servers safe and sound. While these statements may be true in most cases, data loss is not limited to computer failure or disasters.
Research has shown that the leading cause of data loss is not hardware or software failure, not even natural disasters – human error has been found to be more prone to loss of important data than any factor. So while your data may be secure on Google Docs, there is a significant chance that you may lose your most important reports, documents and other assets due to human error. A recent global survey on the causes of data loss by Kroll Ontrack® found that 40% of home, business, government, and channel users of information technology believe that human error is the leading cause of data loss.
Imagine this scenario - as an entrepreneur, you manage a virtual team remotely via Google Docs. All your important documents are stored online so that your virtual team can collaborate and work effectively without having to micromanage them. All is fine until one day; a member of your team accidentally deletes your 52-page report or accounting sheet. It could be because your team member thought it was a different file or just pressed the delete button by mistake – in any case, all the hours spent on your work on Google Docs has gone to waste because of human error.
Also unless you back up your stuff locally and to some other cloud server like Dropbox, Google holds the keys to your critical information.
