How of
ten do you back up your documents on you computer?
What’s a back up? Well a backup is a copy of all the precious stuff you keep on your computer, like letters and photos. I suspect most people don’t bother.
Well one day you may live ro regret not bothering. Computer hard drives can fail, and you can lose all your stuff. I have come across some cases where this has happened, and its heartbreaking. It can also be hugely inconvenient.
Making backups is a pain, but it’s a far bigger pain to lose all you stuff! It may never happen – but it might.
How do I back up my stuff?
If you only have a few documents or pictures, an occasional back up on a memory stick will suffice. Or you could copy them on to a CD. There are plenty of online back up solutions available these days, but beware, if they offer free space it may not be enough for all your stuff.
The best way is with a portable hard drive. These cost from £60 or so, and you can have it permanently plugged into your computer and set it to back up every day, week or month.
But whatevere you do, don’t do nothing. Its not worth it!
