Why Create a Backup Plan?
We have all heard horror stories about the friend who spilled a cup of coffee on their laptop and lost everything. You can keep your documents safe by creating a backup plan. This guide will get you started exploring some of the options for saving your data in case of a disaster. It is divided into three sections: external hard drives for local backup; cloud storage services like Dropbox, Penn Box, and Google Drive; and data backup systems like CrashPlan, Time Machine, and Mozy.
It happens to all of us. Prepare yourself now and avoid disaster later.
