7 INCREDIBLE BENEFITS OF BACKING UP YOUR FILES

According to INFO LINKS COMPUTER SCHOLARS FORUM "The benefit of backing up your computer is much more better than losing it.

To me, i always believe that losing a file will cost you so much pains and frustration and that is why backing up your computer is not an option.

The truth remains that backing up your computer data is important for everyone including you. When it comes to vital information, it’s important for businesses to make sure that their data is protected and backed up in the event of an emergency. Unfortunately, only about 50% of small- and medium-sized businesses are confident that their data is being backed up properly. Many times, they feel as if they lack the technical expertise or equipment to backup their critical data properly.

Many people lose their files and data because of their negligence to back up their computer. There are incredible benefits of backing up your computer.

Do you have a company?
Are you an Entreprenuer?
Are you a student?
Are you a teacher?

Here are 5 INCREDIBLE benefits that data backup can have on you.

1. Save Files - When you backup files in your computer you automatically save them from getting lost. I will recommend you also backup the files in your computer to the cloud.

2. Higher Reliability – Perhaps the biggest benefit of regular remote data backup is its great reliability. Remote backup can be automated and updated on a daily basis, or you can even back up your data at a set time. Plus, since this is done via the Internet, you will always be able to recover any files you need quickly.

3. Easy Set-Up – Backing up your data may sound like a daunting task, but when you do it remotely, it’s as easy as a few clicks! Just have an IT professional set up the system and the schedule or automation, and you can rest easily knowing that your data is protected, backed up, and up-to-date.

4. Reduced Workload – Manual backing up files can be very time-consuming and always requires at least one person to do the job. Since remote data backup involves automation, you won’t need to worry about taking the time to back it up with a CD or a USB drive, and you’ll always know where the backups are. This will help you save quite a bit of time and frustration.

5. Higher Security – When you employ remote data backup, you store your data in a secure location, making it physically safe. This is typically done via advanced encryption tools that are used at both the hardware and software level. You will never have to worry about others locating and compromising your data with remote data backup.

6. Saves Money – Think about all of the equipment you need when you manually back up your data. You’ll need a lot of physical storage solutions for your computers, and if you have many computers with large amounts of data, that can be a costly and burdensome solution. If your company operates in an industry in which backups are mandatory, remote backup will be a cost-effective solution for your business.

How to back up your computer

Chinonso Nwakaeme in one of my training @ Info Links Computer Academy in Agege center i remember i told about 20 participant who were in attendance that "When you back up your computer you duplicate your information".

 

i have lost my files because i failed to backup my computer and that cost me a big damage. In other not to pass through such, i would like you to learn how to backup your computer from this article and make you backup your computer after reading.

 

WHAT IS BACK UP: A back-up is a copy of all the files on your computer. If you have a back-up, you’re protected if, for example, you delete a precious photograph by mistake.

 

It’s VERY IMPORTANT to back up your files on to a different storage device from your computer’s hard drive – its main memory store. That way, if your hard drive gets damaged you can still restore all the information on your computer and be up and running quickly.

 

There are basically two types of data that need to be backed up:

• the files that you create and update frequently
• the programs, applications, etc. that make up the ‘system’ that your computer depends on to run and which are updated only occasionally.

You can back up as often as you like – monthly, weekly or daily. But it’s common to make a large back-up of the entire system and your folders at the start and, after that, only back up those items that have changed since the last back-up.

 

Some computers have a second hard drive built in for back-ups. However, you’ll be more secure if you store your copies on a free-standing external hard drive with a very large storage capacity. These can be bought relatively cheaply. You can then remove this hard drive from your computer and keep it safe in case of fire or burglary.

 

Follow these step-by-step instructions on how to back up your computer

 

PLEASE NOTE: This article assumes that you’re using a PC with Windows 7 and have set up an external drive or similar. Windows 7 has its own back-up program built in.

 

Step 1: First, you have to find the Windows 7 back-up program. Press the ‘Windows’ button on the left-hand side of the taskbar and type in ‘backup’ in the search box that appears.

 

On the results you now see, click Backup and Restore:

 

 

Alternatively, press the ‘Windows’ button and click Control Panel in the right-hand column:

 

 

Then click Back up your computer on the ‘System and Security’ menu

 

 

Step 2: No matter which route you took to get there, you should now have arrived on a page headed ‘Back up or restore your files’. On this, click Set up backup:

 

 

 

This will open a series of pages.

 

Step 3: The first page is ‘Select where you want to save your backup’. This is where you’ll tell the computer to send copies of all your files and programs/applications.

 

You’re given a number of choices, depending on which back-up method you’ve set up. Here the choices are: to send copies to a DVD in the DVD drive; or, as Microsoft recommends, to send them to an external hard drive.

 

 

Click on the option that suits you and then click Next.

 

Step 6: You’ll now see the ‘What do you want to back up?’ page. Here you can choose what Windows recommends – that is, a combination of a system copy and back-ups of all your data files – or you can opt for ‘Let me choose’ and pick only those items you want Windows to copy:

 

 

Make your choice and then click Next.

 

Step 7: You’ve now reached the ‘How often do you want to back up?’ page, where you can set up a schedule for regular back-ups. This is highly recommended – it’s very easy to forget to do a back-up!

 

 

Make your choices and then click OK.
