Storing and synchronizing files securely - recommendations for end-user devices

An unexpected loss of data can severely impair your own work or even result in a permanent loss of information. To prevent this from happening in the first place, the SCC has solutions for various use cases.

Storing and syncing files securely is easy with the recommendations for end-user devices and SCC services

If data (documents, media files, e-mail archives) is only stored locally on the hard disk of the end device, there is a risk of data loss as this data is not backed up automatically. SCC's server-based services, on the other hand, back up your data centrally, automatically and according to professional standards - making a local backup on the workstation computer generally superfluous.

Why central data backup is important for you

The secure storage of data affects everyone. An unexpected loss of data - for example due to a defective end device, an operating error or malware - can have a significant impact on your own work and, in the worst case, lead to a complete loss of information.
To prevent this from happening in the first place, the SCC offers central file servers on which your data is reliably and automatically backed up. If you implement our recommendations for end-user devices and store your important work files in this way, you will benefit in several ways:

  • Automatic, regular backups by the SCC
  • High reliability and professionally managed storage infrastructure
  • No need for your own local backup solutions on workstations
  • Access from different workstations and devices

Recommendation: Always store your relevant work data on the SCC's central file servers and follow the information on our website. This will protect you against data loss and make your day-to-day work easier at the same time.
