There is no doubt that you need to protect your data from loss as it contains your important documents and files which were prepared with months and sometimes years of efforts. Data protection is of two types:

• Data backup and restore: In this option, we need to back up the data as per our schedule. Whenever needed, we can restore the data from the backup. The data which was created or modified after the backup was taken is lost when we restore the backup.
• Data recovery. In this option, there are data recovery utilities which can help you recover your data even if you have not previously backed up your data.
