Why choose local secure backups?
With a local secure backup, you can restore your files quickly even without internet access. Unlike cloud-based solutions, your data remains physically under your control, giving you greater privacy and reliability. This is particularly important for individuals and businesses handling confidential or sensitive information.
Protection against data loss and ransomware
Local backups safeguard your files from ransomware attacks that lock your data and demand a payment. Because your backup is stored separately—on an external hard drive, encrypted USB stick, or secured NAS—your files remain unaffected in case of infection. Regular backup schedules and secure storage settings help prevent recent work from being lost.
Offline access and full control
One of the main benefits of local storage is uninterrupted access to your files, even when the internet is down. This makes local secure backups ideal for freelancers, home users and small businesses in areas with unstable connectivity. You decide how often to back up, where to store it, and who can access the data. With encryption and password protection, you keep unauthorised access at bay.
How to keep your local backups secure
Always use reliable storage devices—preferably with built-in encryption. Create backups at least once a week and test recovery regularly. A combination of automated and manual backups offers better coverage. For added safety, store multiple backup versions. Need help setting up your local solution?
