Why should I backup my data?
Look around you- there really isn’t a reason you shouldn’t backup your data. Whether your computer fails, is lost or stolen, or files encrypted– Computer Experts are here to help. At Computer Experts we often see viruses that cause people to lose the data on their computers. A virus can infect the computer and may delete or corrupt files. More increasingly, a virus will hold data random and demand payment to return the files. Hard drive failure is another common occurrence that usually happens at the most inconvenient time- and if you didn’t backup your data, it’s gone. If a computer or laptop is stolen or lost, that data will most likely never be recovered.
What data should I backup?
Backup any information that contains personal or financial details that would be disastrous if lost. Basically, backup data that is important to you- pictures, tax information, documents, etc.- especially files that can’t be replaced.
