140,000 of these fail a week.
What fail?
I’m talking about hard drives and the more modern SSD drives (a hard drive with no moving parts).
Once yours fails, there’s no way to access your data.
UNLESS you have a recent backup. Your savior! Backups are a business basic these days.
That explains why you need to back up your business data. But do you know what data you should be backing up?
It may seem obvious, but there’s more to protect than just your projects and documents.
Here’s a quick list of the things you need to include in your daily backup:
• Documents
• Downloads
• Desktop
• Photos
• Videos
• App data
• Projects & records
• Software data
• Email
• Contacts
• Calendar
This isn’t an exhaustive list, and there may be things on it that aren’t relevant to you. But as long as you’ve covered the basics, you should be able to get up and running again should you lose any data.
