Internet+BackUp

Introduction
A back-up is a means of making a copy of data in case that original version of the data is lost or deleted.

Many people know to back up the files on their computers, but do not think to back up their on-line data. Often people just trust whoever is hosting the data, but what happens if they lose it?

Online resources which may need backed up include:
 * email
 * websites
 * blogs
 * wikis
 * photos
 * social networking content

Back-up Regularity

 * How often should a back-up be made? Clearly this depends on how often data is changed.
 * Personal back-ups should be made once a week, fortnight, or month.
 * Commercial back-ups should be made once a day

Task 1
Make a back-up of a web page to your computer's hard disk drive. Take a screenshot of the file on your computer - this can be used as part of your assessment.

Task 2
Investigate three online back-up tools. Write a short report summarising the features and benefits of each.
