World Backup Day is observed on March 31 and its relevance becomes more important as we are increasingly becoming reliant on technology, especially post-COVID-19 pandemic. However, it is pertinent to note that backup platforms do not meet the complex needs of today's users, thus, making it difficult for them to store or backup data safely. 

According to a study by digital storage solutions major Western Digital revealed on Friday, in India, only 32 per cent take a full backup of their data. The study also revealed that most users have consumed up to 75 per cent of the internal memory of their devices, including laptops, smartphones, PCs, tablets and digital cameras. This in turn affects the performance of the device, which can lead to frustration and even a loss of productivity. World Backup Day is a great time to remind all -- from big-scale enterprises to content creators and general users that backing up data is the only way to ensure it is safe. We have compiled a list of must-have storage solutions to backup your important PC and smartphone data safely.
