Computer Data Backups

  • What is a backup of a computer?
    • This process involves duplicating your important data onto to a CD/DVD or a tape so you can recover should something happen to your computer or hard drive.
    • If you have a backup you can recover the information quickly.
    • This is especially important for all those digital pictures you have taken for the last several years! One hard drive crash and they are gone forever!
  • There are several software applications out there to make this easy and require a minimum amount of intervention.
  • How often do you need to save a backup?
    • That depends on how much information you would be willing to loose. If you could afford to loose a week of data, then once a week is fine.
    • I would suggest daily if you have a lot of pictures being loaded routinely and/or you have daily finacial information
