Backup Day: What is the importance of making a backup?

Prevention is indeed the best medicine, and the backup is proof of that.

Today we celebrate Backup Day, a recent event, which reminds us that we must be careful with the files we love the most, and that we can lose forever unexpectedly, namely work, photographs or videos.

What is a backup?

A backup consists of making a copy of important files to places considered safe; in order to recover them in case of any fatal malfunction in your computer or mobile phone.

Where to back up?

You can back it up to a cloud or cloud storage service. Both Google and Apple offer several options. You can also opt for physical drives, for offline storage, such as external disks.

Why is backup important?

Backup prevents you from losing important data on your electronic equipment. In case these are stolen or damaged to the point of being inoperable, it is important to have storage services or external disks where we can always have access to our files.

When should I back up?

Backup should be a recurring practice. In the case of external disks, based on your workflow and file production, you will have to save new files on a weekly or even monthly basis. In the case of subscription online storage services, this storage is done automatically and regularly.
