Murmansk residents were advised to save copies of data from Yandex in case of failures

Residents of the Murmansk region are advised to keep independent copies of important data from Yandex services amid attacks on data centers. Service outages may be temporary, but technical failures cannot be completely ruled out. This was reported in News.ru.

Particular attention should be paid to photos, documents and other files, the loss of which can be critical. It is recommended to store them in several independent places – for example, on a computer, an external hard drive or a separate cloud storage.

It is important to keep in mind that synchronization and backup are not the same thing. If a file is deleted or corrupted, the changes can spread to synchronized devices. Therefore, it is better to have a separate backup copy for data protection.

Earlier, “MK in Murmansk” also reported that in Severomorsk emergency services worked out actions in a conditional attack of drones.
