Backing up data is one of the most important requirements when using computers. Significant data loss can occur due to accidental deletion, overwriting, or mishandling. Furthermore, data can be lost due to hardware failure, theft, computer crashes, faulty software, or viruses.

Data losses generally occur infrequently. However, once they happen, frustration is inevitable, and the time required for data restoration, if even possible, can be substantial. In some cases, the costs involved can be quite high.

Therefore, regular data backups should be a given for every PC user. The official data of Anhalt University of Applied Sciences is secured using a central backup system.
