Back Up!

I'm sure you all know how important it is to back up your data. We could all be reminded of it from time to time. I sure wish that I was. I nearly lost some very important emails the other day. There were hundreds of these invaluable letters. Sometimes this is all we have left of a person. Letters, pictures and memories. These three things are irreplaceable. Luckily I remembered that I downloaded them to my computer's desktop mail app. But there is much more to be done. Here are a few ways to back up your stuff.

• Download your online documents to your computer's hard drive
• Save your data in multiple places
• If you want to save stuff online try an applications such as Dropbox
• Burn a disc
• Save your work on a flash drive
• Make sure you make frequent backups. Mac users might want to try Time Machine
• Save your work on an external drive
• Invest in Network Attached Storage (NAS)
• Have a hard copy as well as a digital copy
• Keep your important documents in a firebox
