But replacing your personal documents is another issue. You can always buy a new Windows license, and download and install your programs, if it comes down to that. So if you use the cloud, I recommend you encrypt anything you put out there.įor the most simple backup, keep all your personal files somewhere under the Documents folder. My trust issue with the cloud is that I fear my data will be hacked and stolen - due to incompetence and negligence by those responsible for maintaining and keeping secure, the cloud storage service. On the contrary, there will likely soon be more copies than you can imagine. I personally believe your data will never get lost out in the cloud. If you trust the cloud, you can put a copy out there. When I had my business, I kept a copy in my safe deposit box at my bank.


They lost all their family photos, tax records, and more. And most recently, a friend of a friend had a bad guy break into their home and stole the computer and the external drive too. One person lost it all when his house burned to the ground. I know of several cases where the user kept the one and only backup on their external drive sitting next to their monitor. That is, keep at least one copy at a friends or relatives house. What is MOST important is that you have multiple backup copies with at least one maintained off-site. Again - much simply depends on what you are used to and familiar with. But frankly, the one built into W10 works great too. The Macrim Reflect Free is a great program. Just knowing none of my important files would be lost forever is fine, even if it takes much longer to recover and get a fully operational system again. So I kept regular image backups and incrementals too. When I had my repair and consulting business, if something happened to my primary computer, I needed it back on line yesterday. If you are not familiar with the process, even the most simple program can be daunting - or fail! That is, restore from a backup so you know how to do it. It really does not matter what you use - just have a robust backup plan and use it.
