Backup planning
Why Important Files Need Backups
Information about backups and basic file protection.
A computer can fail without warning. Files can also be deleted by accident or damaged by malware. Power and storage problems can also cause data loss.
Important files are often difficult to recreate. This can include records and documents. It can also include photos and school files.
A backup should be checked before there is a problem
A backup should be checked to confirm that it is still running and that files can be restored when needed.
One copy is not enough
If the only copy of important information is stored on one computer, file loss is more likely. A backup plan provides another copy if the computer fails or becomes infected.
Backup checks can reduce the risk of data loss and make recovery easier after a computer failure or malware issue.
