| reply to Fredra Re: Backup Your Data NOW!
For most average users, just backing up personal data files to CD or other external drive type on a somewhat regular basis is sufficent to avoid major disaster.
For other people, that's not going to cut it and they need to do more and employ special software for the task (Acronis, etc.).
Other people or businesses need daily (or even hourly, or whatever) backups of virtually everything, for whatever reason.
So, how complicated and thorough it needs to be is going to vary from person to person, or business to business-- as will the methods that need to be employed.
But everyone needs some sort of plan, beyond simply 'I hope nothing goes wrong'-- that's for sure. |
