Dropbox is not a Backup System

Have you thought about using Dropbox as a backup system? Did you know that it's not a cloud backup system?

Actually, Dropbox is a storage program but this doesn't guarantee all the features that a good backup system needs, like authentication, encryption and backup retention, as well as the monitoring thereof.

Use Dropbox, since it's a really good program but use it to store, synchronize or share data, not to ensure the safety of your data, even less that of your company, because when you delete something from Dropbox, it disappears and is no longer recoverable. This doesn't happen with cloud backup software since you can recover several previous versions.
