Microsoft's Windows Reportedly Warns Users To Backup Their Data In The Cloud To Have 'Peace Of Mind' — But At What Price?
Microsoft's Windows Reportedly Warns Users To Backup Their Data In The Cloud To Have 'Peace Of Mind' — But At What Price?
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has reportedly been issuing a warning to millions of Windows 11 users about the significance of data backup.
據報道，微軟公司 (納斯達克:MSFT) 向數百萬Windows 11用戶發出警告，強調數據備份的重要性。
What Happened: Microsoft has been displaying a full-screen pop-up message to its users, highlighting the need to back up their files using its cloud storage service, OneDrive, reported Forbes, citing Windows Latest.
發現微軟向用戶顯示了全屏彈窗消息，強調使用其雲存儲服務OneDrive備份文件的必要性，引用自Windows Latest且被Forbes報道。
The full-screen popup promotes Windows 11's feature to "backup your desktop, documents and pictures folder in the cloud so you have peace of mind knowing they're protected, even if something happens to this PC."
全屏彈窗廣告宣傳Windows 11的功能，可以將“桌面、文檔和圖片文件夾備份到雲端，這樣您就可以放心，即使發生了什麼，這些文件也受到了保護。”
However, the free storage limit on OneDrive is capped at 5GB. Depending on the amount of data included in the backup, which may vary between users, some might need to pay for additional storage.
但是，OneDrive的免費存儲空間限制爲5Gb。取決於備份中包含的數據量，這可能因用戶而異，有些人可能需要支付額外的存儲空間費用。
This move is seen as Microsoft capitalizing on its dominant position in the desktop OS market to push its other products and services. This new OneDrive campaign follows a series of similar initiatives for its browser, Edge, the report noted.
此舉被視爲微軟利用其在桌面操作系統市場的主導地位，推廣其其他產品和服務。據該報告指出，這項新的OneDrive宣傳活動緊隨其針對其瀏覽器Edge的一系列類似舉措之後。
While data backup is indeed essential, users are advised to carefully evaluate which service to use. Despite OneDrive's seamless integration with Windows, changing and transferring files can be a complex process once committed.
雖然數據備份確實很重要，但用戶應謹慎評估使用哪個服務。儘管OneDrive與Windows無縫集成，但一旦選擇了該服務並開始傳輸文件，更改和傳輸文件可能會變得複雜。

Why It Matters: This warning comes in the wake of a faulty update from CrowdStrike earlier this month that led to a global IT outage.
爲何重要：在本月早些時候CrowdStrike發佈了一個有缺陷的更新，導致全球IT服務中斷之際，微軟發出了此警告。
It was criticized by a leading U.S. cybersecurity official who said that while the outage "wasn't malicious, it was a serious mistake."
美國一位頂尖網絡安全官員批評該事件說，在線路故障“並非惡意，但確實是一個嚴重的錯誤”。
Microsoft's inability to secure Windows like Apple Inc. secures MacOS due to a prior agreement with the European Commission has also been a point of contention.
微軟未能像蘋果一樣保護Windows的安全性，這是因爲其與歐洲委員會達成的先前協議，成爲爭議焦點。
Following the CrowdStrike incident, Microsoft stated that it is legally unable to adopt the same security measures as Apple due to this agreement.
在CrowdStrike事件之後，微軟表示，由於該協議的原因，它法律上無法採取與蘋果相同的安全措施。
