A Request For Digital Backup

December 28, 2006

Online storage doesn't have to replace local storage such as an external hard drive. The two methods can actually complement each other, making the most important files accessible without an Internet connection while keeping the rest of the valuable data somewhere safe, said Michael Cai, an analyst with Parks Associates, a Dallas market research firm.

"I definitely think online storage and backup solutions have a future, but I don't think it's an either/or situation," he said.

From the article "A Request For Digital Backup," by Crayton Harrison.
