World Backup Day: Epson Encourages Families and Small Business to Protect Important Documents, Data and Photos Smart Scanner Tech Helps Safeguard Important Records and Precious Memories

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether it's human error, a hardware mishap, cybercrime, theft or natural disaster, the chances that you or someone you know will lose important data or photos is extremely high. Despite these risks, many people neglect to back up the important things regularly as the perceived time, cost and process outweigh the urgency until a data loss or unfortunate event occurs. To help safeguard what's important, Epson is encouraging families and small businesses to use World Backup Day (March 31) as a reminder that a few simple steps, and help from easy-to-use and accessible Epson scanning technology, can help prevent permanent loss.

"As World Backup Day approaches, it underscores the importance of digitizing critical documents and irreplaceable photos—especially as we see technical mishaps and natural disasters continue to destroy irreplaceable records each year. Thomas Jefferson's advice still resonates…'Never put off for tomorrow what you can do today,'" said Stacey Tieu, senior product manager, retail scanners, Epson America, Inc. "Epson offers a range of affordable, easy-to-use scanning solutions to empower families to act now to help ensure important records and photos are protected for the future."

Epson spotlights smart scanners to help families and businesses protect vital documents and data for World Backup Day.

Scan, Store, Secure: Helpful Data and Photo Backup Tips and Tech

A helpful backup rule of thumb is to follow the 3-2-1 strategy, keeping three copies of data, stored on two different types of media with one copy stored offsite, like in the cloud. Epson provides consumers and businesses alike with easy-to-use scanning solutions that streamline the digitizing of data and photos, and many of Epson's solutions also back up popular cloud storage services, 1 including Dropbox ®, Evernote ®, Google Drive™ and OneDrive ® to create a reliable and easily accessible digital backup filing system.

Epson encourages everyone to take part in World Backup Day by building a reliable digital system — safeguarding critical information against accidental loss or unexpected disruptions. For more information about Epson scanning solutions, visit www.epson.com/scanners.
