Question

Heinrich Koch is a second-year college student. Last semester his best friend had his laptop stolen. The laptop was an old computer that he planned to replace soon, but the greatest loss was his data: he had not performed a backup and all his data was lost. Heinrich himself does not perform data backups but knows that he needs to do that on a regular basis. He has decided to use an online backup service that will automatically back up his data whenever it changes. Evaluate and compare reviews of online backup services. Consider iDrive, Carbonite, Acronis True Image, BackBlaze, and others you might find in your research. Recommend a service that you consider the best solution for Heinrich. Discuss your reviews and mention speed, security, and features in your recommendation.

Aadab Baqri is completing her degree at a community college and intends to transfer to a university next semester. She has kept a Microsoft Word document that lists her account user names and passwords, but she knows that she needs something much more secure to create and manage her passwords and account information. Evaluate and compare reviews of three password managers, at least one of which can be used on a mobile device. Consider KeePass, Bitwarden, Enpass, KeePassXC, and others you might find in your research. Recommend two password managers: one for when Aadab uses her laptop, and one for when she uses her mobile phone. Discuss your experiences with these password managers and mention security and features in your recommendation.

Answer 1

Different backup solutions

1. iDrive: This is the solution which is good in terms of syncing the data between the devices which are connected to the server. But the major drawback of this solution is that it does not have any solution in which it can unlimited storage facility. Thus in these terms, the above service would not be fit for our case.
2. Carbonite: This is the service which competes with iDrive and the benefit of this service is that it provides unlimited storage option as well. Thus this can be one of the solutions for our case. This service is economical as well in a comparison of iDrive and thus it can be an important service.
3. Acronis true image: This is the service which is meant for hardcore PC users as this is expensive and complicated service.
4. Backblaze: This is the service which is actually very cheap among the all. It is very simple to use. If there are more than one computers to sync then we may need to pay more. Thus if there is one PC backup this could be the best, easy to use and cheap service.

Thus the Backblaze could be the best service for us. As the user does not want to sync the data on the multiple devices thus the iDrive which has this facility would not be a good option. In the case of carbonite, it is complex to use thus it is not a good idea for an end-user. Acronis true image is for hardcore PC users but here we just have one PC. It would just be wastage of resources.
Thus the Backblaze is the solution in which we can utilize the resources wisely and without wastage.
