One of the most common reasons people give for not using services like cloud backup solutions is that they already stored their data in an external hard drive which is the traditional back-up method. Although one is better than the other to some people, in reality, there is really no right or wrong with these back-up methods since they both have their own sets of pros and cons.

Listed below are two important factors to help you decide which backup method is a better fit for your needs.

Cost

Using Avandrive Cloud Backup you have Unlimited Storage for your Backup so you do not have to worry about how much you will pay if your data increases as time passes. It’s also important to know the features that you’re going to enjoy with the price of the storage so you’ll get your money’s worth. You can calculate the cost of the traditional means of backup through the external hard drive/s that you’re going to use. Alternatively, checking the various price ranges of cloud storage systems is a way for you to calculate an online storage method.  Avandrive can offer you Unlimited Storage for your Backups for only €0.17 daily.

For the external hard drive, the bigger it is (in terms of GB), the pricier it’ll be with other providers, something that you do not have to worry with Avandrive.

Accessibility

One of the features Avandrive is proud of is that once you store your files and data in the cloud, everything will be easy to access. You don’t even have to use only your computer to access your folders since remote access using other devices is possible. That’s all well and good. It cannot be a problem if the cloud storage user isn’t connected online because Avandrive gives special offline access.

Alternatively, external hard drives give you accessibility in a way that if you have it with you, anytime, online or offline, you can still access your data. The operative word here though is ‘anytime.’ If you happen to forget to bring your hard drive, then easy access isn’t possible at all.

How about you, what type of backup method fits your needs better?
