This is your tech conscience speaking. It is time to backup your data. Ok, you should probably change your Brita filter, and you probably need to get an oil change. But most importantly.. you need to backup your data.
There has never been a better time to backup your computer’s data. Really – you can do it all for free, almost without ANY thought. This is especially important if you have a laptop, which many folks do – the reason being, you have one small hard drive, and that’s it. DO NOT RELY on Windows “system restore” or “repair” functions.. if the hard drive has errors, these “features” are useless – and this is almost always the case. I have an external drive on my computer at home – where I backup all data.. but that’s really not enough (if say, your computer is hit by lightning).
Enter.. the Internet.
