RESPOSTAS EM NEGRITO

Data storage
Online storage is an emerging method of data storage and back-up. A remote server with a network
connection and special software backs up files, folders, or the entire contents of a hard drive.
There are many companies that provide a web-based backup.
One emerging technology in this area is cloud computing. This allows colleagues in an
organisation to share resources, software and information over the Internet.
Continuous backup and storage on a remote hard drive eliminates the risk of data loss as a result of
fire, flood theft. Remote data storage and back-up providers encrypt the data and set up password
protection to ensure maximum security.
Small businesses and individuals choose to save data in a more traditional way. External drives,
disk and magnetic tapes are very popular data storage solutions. USB or offsite memories, DVDs
and hard disks are cheap and widly accessible solutions. These methods are very practical with
small volumes of data storage and backup. Howeve, they are not very reliable and do not protect
the user in case of a disaster.
