online software and backup

online software is updated automatically on the server rather tan a client
1. backed up automatically
2. can be used of different devices (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.)
3. can be used on different operating systems (windows, mac, etc.)
backing up files online means saving them to external servers.
1. if the users computer fails, the files are saved on servers else where and would still be safe.
2. cloud storage is often also backed up so there is double security.
advantages of standalone software
1. as it is installed onto the hard drive, it can be used when there is no internet access.
2. it runs faster then online software with a poor internet coonnection
