2023 State Of Backup: As Data Needs Grow, Backups Need To Fill Gaps
StorageNewsletter.com, Wednesday, June 14,2023
18% of Americans who own computer saying they've never backed up data
Each passing year brings with it a June, and with that comes a Backup Awareness Month. For those that are new to the blog, each June we partner with The Harris Poll to gauge the state of backups in the United States, by asking the simple question: 'How often do you backup all the data on your computer?' (And a handful of other questions, too.) This post marks our survey's 15th anniversary, and as you can imagine, the backup world has changed a lot in that time.
If you've followed our previous State of the Backup articles, you'll know that we usually have a burning question that we want to answer. In 2021 and 2022, we were interested in the 'best backer upper.' This year's focus touches on the different 'cloud' services that respondents use, and their confidence level that those services are providing them with the protection they crave-nay, deserve.
