Answer:

Data and other information can be saved and recovered using secondary storage for later use. Secondary storage is typically employed as a backup device, helping users by permanently storing programs, data, and applications on removable hardware to aid in recovery or, in some circumstances, serve as a degree of security.

Explanation:

A computer's secondary storage, often known as auxiliary memory, is one of its most important parts. The notion of secondary storage refers to methods of storage retained outside of the computer itself, enabling the storing of software, data, and other information on a more movable, long-lasting, and safe basis. Secondary storage is sometimes referred to as non-volatile storage since data cannot be erased unless it is deleted or rewritten by the user and will not be lost when the computer is switched off. In comparison to primary storage alternatives, most external secondary storage devices are more capacious and frequently less expensive to buy and operate.
