In the digital age, we have all come to rely heavily on our computers and devices for storage. Whether it’s work documents, personal paperwork, a semester’s worth of university assignments, family videos, precious holiday photos or our video game progress, we all have something stored that is too valuable to lose. Sadly, just like most things, our devices aren’t foolproof and are prone to failure. Whether through physical damage, liquid damage, hard drive failure, a power surge, viruses and malware or simply human error—when the worst happens, our precious data can be lost in seconds. That’s why we recommend that all computer owners implement a regular data backup schedule.
What is data backup?
Data backup is the regular practise of copying important files and documents to another secure location, or ideally two other locations, so that they can be recovered in the case of a failure, preventing the loss of important or irreplaceable data.
