A list of the most important files to Backup on your Computer…
I could tell you 100 ways on how you can loose computer data, however I am sure everyone has experienced a few of them . Your hard drive will crash its just a matter of time , there may be a power surge, theft or someone could simply spill a glass of soda on the computer. This is why backup is so important!
Often when you go to restore your computer or transfer your data to another system, you have more than likely forgotten to backup at least one important file. Sometimes it is a pass word or a setting, and sometimes an entire folder. By making simple mistakes, you will have lost a lot of important information over the years.
However now I have vowed to religiously backup my data at least once a week. This is easy enough to perform as long as I can remember all of the files and folders I need to backup. My memory isn’t that good
so back up your computer now or you will lose your data and you will not be a happy camper
