In simple terms, online server backup solutions can be defined as web based solutions allowing subscribers to have an online backup of their important data on a web based server. The providers offering such solutions have an extensive online database that can be used by the subscribers to store their files in a remarkably seamless manner as all such solutions come with an easy-to-use GUI, that could be accessed using any web browser. This way, people who are looking for creating a backup of their data is able to eliminate the need to burn a gazillion discs to have an online backup of their important data. In addition to giving the subscribers the freedom to back up their continually changing data online, online server backup solutions promise to be a remarkably cost-effective option to meet the need. Unlike the traditional workstation backup software, the users are not required to purchase the solution; in contrast, they can simply sign up for the online solution and compensate for it on an easily affordable pay-as-you-go plan. Furthermore, the users also have the freedom to extend their allotted backup storage space as and when required, thereby promising high scalability.
