Founded in 2011 by Ismail Jadun, a digital strategy and research consultant, World Backup Day is an annual event aimed at raising awareness about the importance of regularly backing up personal and professional data to prevent data loss. The day encourages individuals and businesses to take the pledge to secure their data by creating copies in different locations, ensuring that important information is protected against unforeseen events.

The World Backup Day is observed on March 31, serving as a reminder of the possibility or certainty of data loss from human error, system failure, or threat actors’ malicious intent. As World Backup Day 2024 approaches, read about some of the data loss horror stories members of the Spiceworks Community witnessed and how they could have been prevented.

It’s that time of year again! No, not the time for holiday shopping or beach getaways. It’s World Backup Day, a yearly nudge (or perhaps a gentle shove) for everyone to prioritize the often-overlooked task of backing up their data. While techies might scoff at the notion of needing a dedicated day for backups, the reality is that data loss can strike anyone, anytime. From a hardware malfunction to a nasty case of ransomware, irreplaceable photos, documents, and work projects can vanish in an instant.

This year’s World Backup Day, which falls on March 31st, 2024, is a prime opportunity to re-evaluate your backup strategy. Are you relying on a single, aging external hard drive tucked away in a corner? Is your cloud storage on autopilot, with no recent verification? World Backup Day serves as a springboard to explore robust backup solutions, ensuring your digital life is safe and sound.
