When is World Backup Day?

It’s on March 31st! It’s not only a day for backing up your personal data, but it’s also a day to talk about the enormous task of preserving our increasingly digital heritage and cultural works for future generations.

We’re aiming to reach those who have never backed up in their life, and might not even know what backup is!

However, we also like to say that World Backup Day is every day! A good backup plan will be continuous and include multiple layers to not only recover your data but also include steps for data preservation.

The original idea for the March 31st date was a humorous reference to April Fool’s Day on April 1st.
