When it comes to data safety, data backup is the more secure option compared to cloud sync. While cloud sync (like Google Drive, iCloud, or OneDrive) keeps your files updated across devices, it doesn’t protect you from accidental deletions, overwrites, or cyberattacks—because any change is instantly mirrored across all synced devices.
In contrast, data backup creates a snapshot copy of your files at a specific point in time. These backups can be stored on external drives or secure cloud servers, allowing you to recover your files even if they’re deleted, corrupted, or affected by malware.
