But Why Should I Backup?

We’re aiming to reach those who have never backed up in their life, and might not even know what backup is!

A backup is a second copy of all your important files — for example, your family photos, home videos, documents and emails. Instead of storing it all in one place (like your computer), you keep another copy of everything somewhere safe.

But why should I backup?

Losing your files is way more common than you’d think. Ever lost your phone, camera or tablet? That counts. Your stuff could have been saved with a backup. One small accident or failure could destroy all the important stuff you care about.

If you have an external USB hard drive, you can just back up to that drive using your computer’s built-in backup features or you can back them up to the internet with a service. Rather than just storing your files on your computer’s hard drive, you can store them on a service like Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or a similar cloud storage service.

But always remember one backup isn’t enough: use multiple methods!!
