How to Secure Data Backup via Internet

Almost everyone will surely require a data storage medium, usually they store data ranging from images, video, save game, etc. But in data storage, we should not forget to make backups of the data - the data that, as might be needed again someday. Well, we could make a backup of the data in two different media:
  1. Using an external hard drive, flash, other laptops, and other devices and hardware.
  2. Using the Internet to make data backup.

Of the two ways above, I will explain about the second, which is over the Internet. Well, the advantages of using the Internet as a medium of data backup are ...
    • It will not be broken
    • Can be taken at any time
    • last a long time
But all that has definite advantages there are also drawbacks, shortcomings of the use of the internet are ... 
    • If the data is uploaded containing pirated programs, can be deleted by the authorities 
    • Vulnerable to hack
So now I will give you on how that data is safe on the internet
  • Existing protocols that can be use 'https://' as 's' in https means secure itself.
  • You can create a backup image to a social networking account, or e-mail
  • Look for sites that could contain data with high security, although sometimes with a capacity that is not too big
  • If you want to upload files that are big enough, make sure if you compress the given password
  • Create your account password where you back up the data into a rather complex but easy to remember. 

5 of my way so that the data is secure on the internet.
