Have you ever considered what might happen if your computer hard drive was to suddenly stop working?
Most people have moved onto digital technology for a vast array of media. Photography, music, personal documents, Tax returns, etc - but what would you do if they suddenly weren't there anymore?
A large amount of stress can be avoided by making sure that your memories and data are backed up in advance in case disaster strikes.
Recovering data is a hit and miss process at the best of times and whilst some technicians may promise the world when it comes to re-building your precious family albums or your years of emails that you can't live without, unfortunately the truth is that sometimes full data recovery can be very expensive.
The simplest method of backing up your information is to simply copy it to and external drive or a cloud archive service and should disaster strike you simply have to re-copy everything and all is right in your world. The most expensive component in this equation is the replacement of a hard drive or two.
In the case of other files (emails, game save files, etc) there is software available to synchronise these file to an external hard drive (some free and some for a price) but the important thing to remember is that data stored in two or more places is a LOT safer than data that only exists in one lonely, solitary location.
