The company noted that many users only realise the importance of backups after losing access to their data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rainer W. Kaese, Senior Manager of HDD Business Development at Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH, shared insights on why backups should not rely solely on cloud storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He pointed out that cloud storage depends on internet connectivity. In contrast, external hard disk drives (HDDs) operate independently of networks. As a result, they offer reliable access and can be securely stored offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, HDDs provide strong data security. Companies are increasingly investing in their own data centres due to compliance and security concerns. In this context, Kaese highlighted that <a href=\"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/?s=cloud+data+\">cloud data<\/a> access and usage are not always fully transparent. However, external hard drives allow complete control over stored data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, speed remains a key advantage. While cloud services typically offer transfer speeds of up to 300 Mbit\/s, HDDs can reach up to 1 Gbit\/s via USB connections from devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, convenience is not compromised. Many modern hard drives include built-in software. This allows users to back up not only files but also system settings efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost is another factor supporting HDD adoption. External hard drives involve a one-time investment and do not require ongoing subscription fees. This makes them a cost-effective option for long-term storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Toshiba also warned against relying on a single backup. Physical risks such as theft, fire, or flooding can still lead to data loss. Therefore, the company recommends a dual-layer backup strategy using both local HDD storage and cloud-based solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, combining multiple backup methods offers a more secure and future-ready approach. This reinforces the importance of safeguarding data, especially on <strong>World Backup Day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Backup Day highlights the importance of reliable data backup, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":104963,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9621,10388],"tags":[1051],"contributor":[9732],"class_list":["post-104961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-emerging-technologies","category-storage","tag-vendors","contributor-news-desk"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/toshiba_English-copy-19.jpg.jpeg","author_info":{"display_name":"Lubna","author_link":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/author\/lubna\/"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/58"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=104961"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104961\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":104962,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104961\/revisions\/104962"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=104961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=104961"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=104961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
