Online financial software data should be backed up often and ideally, a fault-tolerance system should be in place. Fault tolerance means you can continue to use the software even if the provider has system problems.
Tip: Check the data back up policy from online financial software you are considering using and be sure you are comfortable with it. Be sure to find out about the online financial software provider's fault tolerance measures, which should be included in their security statement.
