World Backup Day is Almost Here!
World Backup Day is March 31
Don’t be an April Fool -- Remember to back up!
http://www.worldbackupday.com/en/#pledge
If you’ve attended or heard my “Perfecting Your Computer Backup” presentation, you might remember a very quick mention about World Backup Day.
- Backups should be done regularly -- not just on March 31st
- Computers enjoy a little regularity now and then.
- It can make their owners feel better knowing their priceless saved information has the extra protection of a reliable backup system.
- If your backup system has a scheduling feature, use it and backup at the same time every day or every week. (Don’t wait months before your next backup)
- Whether you use multiple external (USB) drives or flash drives, or you subscribe to an internet cloud provider, your computer backup is the first line of defense against lost, stolen or damaged files.
- The right backup system, used properly, can withstand a virus, spyware or crypto-virus infection.
- Multiple drives and removable drives that are turned off after the backup are the key to safe, reliable backups.
SmartPhones and Tablets also need backups
- How many pictures or videos are saved to your smart device?
- Getting a new SmartPhone or adding a Tablet to your computing inventory?
- Don’t lose those priceless family pictures!
- These memories are more than the cost of the phone itself.
