NEWS – The best time to back up your important data, files, and digital photos is BEFORE you need to. The problem is that most people tell themselves that they will set up a backup routine later, but never actually get around to doing so until it’s too late and disaster has struck. Why do you need to backup your data in this day and age of the cloud? Because most people don’t use cloud storage for all of their files. Sure, you probably have your email and photos automatically backed up, but what about that research paper that your son is writing for school, documents for a report for work? Routinely backing up your laptop or desktop computer will save you a lot of frustration and heartache later. Trust me.
