Backing up your files simply means making a copy of them so that if the original is lost or damaged, you can use the copy. External drives can be used for all you backups. There are many backup programs to use so select your software carefully. How often you back up depends on how valuable your time is. If you’re working on an important file, save it more offen. If you’re running a home-based business, you should invest in a external hard drive as a backup device and back up on a daily basis. Most families can get by with a less rigorous backup schedule. Back up the files in your data folders once a week, and perform a complete system backup every six months. You can back up your data files simply by having a backup program always running in the background.
