Back It Up

Marin Tech Tip of the Day:

No on has lamented having TOO many backups…EVER.

Here's a quick IT tip of the day:

Regularly back up your important data!

Whether it's personal photos, work documents, or anything in between, data loss can be devastating. Implement a backup strategy that includes:

* Multiple locations: Don't rely on just one backup. Use a combination of local backups (external hard drive) and cloud backups (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.).

* Automation: Schedule backups to run automatically, so you don't have to remember to do it manually.

* Testing: Occasionally test your backups to ensure they are working correctly and that you can restore your data.

* Version control: If possible, use backup solutions that keep multiple versions of your files. That way, if you accidentally overwrite something, you can restore an earlier version.

This simple habit can save you a lot of stress and heartache in the long run. I have never had one client complain about being TOO backed up.
