Hard drives fail, laptops get stolen, and ransomware happens. A backup is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy for your files — and it's easy to set up.

The 3-2-1 Rule

Keep 3 copies of important data, on 2 different media, with 1 copy offsite (cloud). It sounds like a lot, but the tools below make it automatic.

Simple Backup Options
  • Cloud — Google Drive, OneDrive or iCloud automatically sync your documents and photos offsite.
  • External drive — Windows File History or macOS Time Machine back up automatically when the drive is plugged in.
  • Both — cloud for offsite safety plus a local drive for fast, large restores.
Set It and Forget It
  • Automate it — a backup you have to remember to run won't happen.
  • Test a restore occasionally so you know it actually works.
  • Keep at least one copy disconnected so ransomware can't reach it.

Already lost data before backing up? Professional data recovery can still retrieve files in most cases — but back up as soon as you get them back. A technician can also set up an automatic backup system so you never lose anything again.
