Backup Strategies for Data, Multimedia, System Files
Your hard drive might crash. Thieves might steal your laptop at a café. You might realize on Friday that you desperately need the now-departed Wednesday version of an important document that you significantly altered on Thursday.
At times like these, having a secure, up-to-date backup of your hard drive can be a lifesaver. Here are seven practical strategies, including using USB storage, backing up via the Internet or through your local network, backing up Windows itself, and preserving huge media files like songs and videos.
Bottom line: “Get in the backup habit, and you’ll be glad you did. Avoid backing up, and you’ll eventually regret it.”
