World Backup Day is an annual observance held on 31 March by the backup and wider technology industry to remind people and organizations to protect their data. It began in 2011 when Ismail Jadun started the campaign after a Reddit user described losing a hard drive and wishing someone had reminded him to make a backup beforehand.
