How To Back Up Your Computer

Back Up That Data Or You Could Lose It

 I get customers asking all the time what do I do so I don't lose my data. Well there are two main ways to save or back up your data. The first is using the back up program in the control panel. You should have a external hard drive to run the back up to. I would recommend a 1tb or 2tb external hard drive. They are fairly small and are pretty reliable. Windows 7 and windows 10 have the same back up program in the control panel. It works very well for the computer it's on. It is not meant to be recovered to a different computer.
 The second way of backing up your data is to the cloud. The most common way is using carbonite. Just be aware of your particular package. The cheapest package only backs up data, so get second package that make a system image as well as backing upon data. It's very difficult to use and it takes the pressure off you on running your own back up. Plus your data will not become infected and is safe.
 There is a third way and is just doing the copy and paste routine to a external hard drive or to a usb flash drive. Just make sure your usb flash drive is big enough for all your data.
 So remember to back up your data and stay safe.
