What’s a Backup?
A backup is basically a copy of your files, stored in a different location from where the original files live. Think of it as your safety net in case your main files get lost, deleted, or damaged.
The goal of a backup is simple: if something goes wrong, you’ve got a copy of your data that you can fall back on, so you don’t lose everything.
Why Should We Back Up?
There are several common causes of data loss, such as device failures or theft. Sometimes, we accidentally delete files or folders, and your data might also be targeted by criminals, and you can find yourself locked out by ransomware. Having backups means that you can get back to business as usual as quickly as possible – but remember it’s one tool in your toolbox so don't forget about everything else!
