ABOUT WORLD BACKUP DAY World Backup Day was chosen to be the day before April 1st (April Fools) in order to drive the message that one should backup all those pictures, spreadsheets, love letters, cat pictures, and important financial documents before it's too late. World Backup Day began its inaugural celebration in 2011 by a few concerned users on reddit.com. It was a hit in the tech industry with virtually all tech news sources reporting on it. For 2012, World Backup Day has partnered with many media partners to spread the word of data backups. This holiday will continue to grow with larger events.http://www.worldbackupday.com.
