The history of backup
Everything has its own history. Have you ever wondered about the history of backup? Today everyone uses (or should use!) backup systems to be able to restore data in case of data loss accidents. But there is a history behind all this backup actions.
The History of Backup, by Maxim Yurin, from SoftLogica, will give you a very good perspective in the history of data backup evolution. It starts referring the punched cards and magnetic tape reels and describes all the history to the emergence of network technologies with complex systems for remote backup storage.
The History of Backup is a very complete website, well documented, with good link references, statistical charts and a chronological diagram showing the use of different storage devices since 1950. Another interesting point is the description of Network and On-line Backup Solutions, such as LANs (Local Area Networks), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), NAS (Network Attached Storage) and SAN (Storage Area Network).
Depending on your age, and experience, you will certainly remember and identify most of these storage devices as i did. I believe the future will lead us to new and more powerful devices and methods, as the need to storage data increases. The best way to taste the future is to know history.
Remember that making backup’s of your important data is essential.
