Tech Tip: Backing Up Files

Imagine all those cute photos of your children on your computer vanishing.  How about all those pics of your little “furry baby” – just gone?  Not to mention that wonderful paper you spent weeks writing.  Do I have your attention?  Did your heart just skip a beat?

Don’t be caught in a dire situation.   Backup your home files regularly (at least weekly or bi-weekly) to an external drive or to a cloud service!

Backing up your files to a cloud service or to an external drive can help prevent any unnecessary stress about your hard drive crashing (it’s going to happen sooner or later).   In case of fire or some other disaster, consider storing your external drive in a different location for safe keeping.
