The Importance of File Backups

It’s important to keep a backup of important or sensitive files. There’s a few ways you can do this:

– Use your system’s built-in cloud backup service. Most operating systems will offer such a service, such as Windows OneDrive.

– Assign a new partition or hard drive as backup storage. If your computer’s hard drive is spacious enough, it’s possible to create a separate partition and use that for backup purposes, although this should be done during OS setup. Alternatively, install another hard drive designed specifically for backup. Your computer’s BIOS can be set to RAID MIRROR MODE, which will take the new hard drive and make it act like a “mirrored” version of the master drive, so it automatically copies and syncs all files.

– If your computer is on a domain, the server may have backup utilities of its own that can also be used.
