<title><![CDATA[Fatal Myths About Data Backup]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=396365]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[How critical is the data on the hard drive of one's business's PC, laptop or server? Could one afford to lose email and contacts, financial data, customer records, intellectual property, employee records, etc.? Does one have proprietary software unique to their business that may be costly and difficult to replace? Can one's business survive not being able to use the valuable data for days or weeks? Most people don't realize the investment that sits on a single hard drive. Data loss can cause catastrophic problems to businesses. When not fatal, it can certainly be costly, time-consuming, and stressful. The best protection against data loss is to backup the data.

<title><![CDATA[Encryption Best Practices: Protecting Backed Up Data]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=395467]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Encrypting backed up data is increasingly becoming a priority, and developing procedures to easily manage encryption helps reinforce the data's security. The encryption types most commonly used, for example to secure commercial transactions over the Internet, are handled without requiring the user to know the encryption key. This kind of encryption, asymmetric encryption that uses a public key authority, is the most commonly used in protecting data. To protect data one has backed up, symmetric encryption is preferable because the key is created, stored, and deleted locally, so the user backing up the data has control over the key.]]></description>
