Why back up your data ?

     Can you afford to lose all that stored music or tax information? More and more people rely on storing their important information from music they have bought and downloaded to the recipes they found on the Internet. If you do not want aggravation of recovering lost information you have stored then you should look into a backup solution.

How do I back up my data?

    You can use solutions  such as writing DVD's and CD's to store your data on. External hard drives are another solution to backing up important information. External drives have moving parts just like a normal hard drives. They are just as vulnerable to a surge or failure as a regular hard drive is. One of the best and simplest solutions to backing up data is using a USB Key. The size of storage ranges anywhere from 256mb on up to 16gb. One reason to use a USB key over normal CD or DVD backup is that you do not have to worry about scratches on the USB key. They are very durable and I myself have even sent them into the washing machine a time or two without loosing any data from them ( not recommended to do). They do not have moving parts like a normal hard drive solution.
