When you only backup to a disk at home, or a DVD, and you leave it next to your computer, in case of fire or theft of your machine – then you have lost both the machine, and the backup.

If you backup over to the internet (into the cloud) then you can be sure that there’s always a copy of your data in case disaster strikes.

Data backup is just like home insurance – it means you can get your data back in case something happens to your computer.  Imagine that someone steals your laptop.  Sure, you can buy a new laptop – but it won’t have your CV, the photos from your trip to Paris, or the film of little Timmy’s first steps, will it?
