Comparison: Ocster Secure Storage vs. Normal Backup Media

Ocster Secure Storage has many great advantages over traditional storage media:

  • Reliability: Since all data is stored in professional data centers and multiple copies are kept in different locations is is almost impossible that any data can ever be lost.
  • Convenience: Backups can be 100% automated. No media needs to be inserted, nothing needs to be labelled, etc.
  • Capacity: The capacity of the storage can be increased at any time.
  • Availablity: Since the data can be accessed via the internet, you can access your backups everywhere, even if you are on the road.
  • Security: All data in Ocster Secure Storage is automatically heavily encrypted and thus much more secure than unencrypted storage on traditional media.
