Recently a large US fuel distribution company, Colonial Pipeline, became the victim of ransomware attack. They finally had to pay 5 million USD to the people behind the ransomware attack in order to get their systems working again. Because of this ransomware attack, so many gas stations in the US had to close down for a few days.
One of the most effective and easy protection against the ransomware attacks is regular and frequent backups of your important files or even the entire storage drives. With the help of CloudBacko Home, we can backup our files to multiple locations over various cloud storage accounts, over FTP servers and even on the local portable drives.
CloudBacko Home uses two-factor authentication for protection against the ransomware attacks or hackers. Even if they gain access to your system somehow, they won’t be able to delete your backup data. In addition, CloudBacko recommends 3-2-1 strategy for a really strong defense. In the 3-2-1 technique, we backup the data at 3 different locations, use 2 different types of media, and store backup at 1 offsite location.
CloudBacko Home allows us to create copies of data in many places at the same time for a highly robust backup. In addition to the standard saving to disk, we can also backup the files to cloud storage. The free version offers the option of uploading the backup copies on services such as Amazon S3, AWS S3 compatible cloud storage, Wasabi, Backblaze, Google Cloud Storage, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft OneDrive, etc.
In addition to the free software for Windows and Mac users, it also offers a web based solution for the Linux users. Furthermore, there is also a free mobile app that works on both Android and iOS. Using this mobile app, we can backup our videos and pictures from the smartphone over to the PC or Mac, from where they are uploaded over the backup locations as setup by the user.
CloudBacko Home is a free backup solution for everyone. It works on all the popular platforms and is free forever. It offers effective ransomware protection for your important files and documents.
