World Backup Day
An informal annual event on March 31 promoting the importance of regular digital data backups to prevent loss and ensure security.
World Backup Day was created by an online community in 2011 to remind individuals and organizations about the critical need for data backups. Observed on March 31, the day encourages users to back up documents, photos, and system files to protect against hardware failures, cyberattacks, and human error. Participants take the official pledge on the World Backup Day website, share tips on social media, and discuss best practices for secure offsite and cloud storage. Tech companies, educational institutions, and cybersecurity experts often host workshops and webinars. By raising awareness, the observance aims to foster a culture of digital resilience and preparedness.
