How to Create a Data Backup Plan

online-tech-tips.com

Choosing a backup method can be frustrating, and involves a lot of trial and error to find the method that works best for you. Keeping your data safe requires using more than one backup method, because there is always a chance that your backup will be unavailable or corrupt when you need it most. Create a backup plan and stick to it.

Create Two Backups

Having a backup of your most important data is crucial, but there is always a chance that you may not be able to access it. If you backup your data to an external hard drive, but leave it when you travel, there is always a chance that you will need it when you are on the road.

The easiest solution is to create two backups, one of which is portable. Either create a backup with an online service (in the cloud) that you can access from any internet connection, or create a backup to some portable media (flash drive, iPod, etc.) to take with you. This way you will always have a recent backup to turn to, even when you are away from home.
