    Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for the lack of specificity in my original question. To clarify, I’m interested in understanding the importance of persistent data backups in Internet security in a broader context, not in a specific F-Secure application.


    I currently do not use any F-Secure application, which is why I posted my question in this generic section of the forum. I am looking to get a better understanding of internet security practices and data protection principles, and thought this session would be a great place to start.


    Your prompt responses are greatly appreciated, and I look forward to learning more about protecting data in an online environment. Any insight or advice you can offer would be invaluable.


    Thank you for your help.
