                     7.7 CYBER LAW AND IMPORTANCE

                                          Aryan: Is there any law against Cybercrime so that the one can complain
                                       and get justice?

                                          Gowri: Yes, there is a Cyber law.
                                         Cyber  law  is  the  legal  system  applied  to the  internet  and
                                       internet-related  technologies. It  is formed  to maintain
                                       discipline  and  justice in  the cyber world.  It  was introduced
                                       in the legal system because crimes related to computers and
                                       technology were increasing rapidly.
                                       To impose cyber law, an Act was introduced:
                     “The Information Technology Act, 2000” (IT Act, 2000) is an Act of the Indian Parliament that
                     was notified on 17 October 2000. It is the primary law in India introduced to deal with cybercrime
                     and electronic commerce.

                     7.8 BACKUP AND RESTORE

                        Aryan: Thank God, there are some ways by which we can get justice. Now please
                     tell the way that if my system got damaged by some means. Is it possible that I
                     don’t lose my important data?
                        Gowri: Yes, the solution to this is BACKUP and RESTORE.

                     Backup and restore describe the process of creating and storing backup copies
                     of data which can be used in case of data loss to protect organisations. This is
                     sometimes referred to as operational recovery. Restore means recovering the
                     data to its original location, or to an alternate location where it can be used in
                     place of the lost or damaged data.

                     File History can be used to back up data to an external drive or a network location.
