The Importance of Backing Up Your Data: A Reminder from Experts
As we continue with our series of videos, we want to remind you that backing up your data is crucial. It's essential to take this step seriously, and we're here to guide you through the process. Whether you're watching on YouTube, embedded on Facebook, Google+, or Beyond, make sure to check out our corresponding blog post on Locker where locker.com for a comprehensive explanation of how and why you should back up your data.
Backing Up Your Data: It's Not Just About Plugging in an External Hard Drive
When it comes to backing up your data, many people think that simply plugging in an external hard drive and copying the data is enough. However, that's just step one. You need to get that hard drive out of here and put it somewhere safe. This could be a safe deposit box or someone else's house. The goal is to keep your data away from any potential damage, such as a blackout that may have damaged your hard drive.
Backing Up to the Cloud: A Great Option
Another great reason to back up your data is in case of an unexpected event like a power outage. If it's dark where you are, and there's a blackout, your hard drive may be damaged, and you'll regret not backing up your data sooner. In such cases, having your data backed up to the cloud can save the day.
The Software and Services Are Available
Despite what you might think, backing up your data is not as complicated as it seems. The software and services are readily available, making it easy for anyone to get started. You can even combine a series of free online storage options together because one service alone may not be enough to cover the full range of your data.
Choosing the Right Online Storage Option
While some free services offer limited storage space, such as 2 gigabytes or 10 gigabytes, this may not be enough for everyone. In such cases, it's better to go with one online storage option or another that can provide adequate space for all your data. However, going with multiple options can also be beneficial if you want to ensure that your data is covered in case one service goes down.
A Personal Experience: Backing Up Data Can Save the Day
I recall an instance where I had a custom ringtone set on my phone, which was played during this video. The ringtone was from Jeff Smith, and it's safe to say nobody would want that as their ringtone. However, what's important is that I had backed up my data online, and I could access the ringtone at any time because of it.
