What Is World Backup Day?
World Backup Day is an annual event that serves as a reminder to back up your data. The day was started by a group of concerned users who wanted to raise awareness about the importance of backups. Since then, the day has grown in popularity, and many organizations now take the opportunity to educate their customers and employees about backup best practices.
Why Are Backups So Important?
