![]() Once costly and complex, backups are now inexpensive, simple to use, and depending on the solution, completely automated. ![]() Files can get corrupted and hardware can fail no matter how recently the files were created, or how new or reliable the computer. ![]() ![]() It is vital to always have a good backup solution in place. Important note – RAID is NOT considered a self-contained backup, but it can serve as one copy of the data. This is the best way to prevent data loss in case of drive failure. So, should you start running out of space on your internal drive and need to move data to external storage, always make sure that a second copy is made on any other media you might choose (another external hard drive, DVDs/Blu-rays, Cloud Backup, etc.) The type of backup is less important than simply having that second copy available. After creating this second copy of data, if you delete the original data on your computer, this means that there is no longer a backup of that data, only a single copy again. This means having important data in a second physical location, such as an external hard drive, DVDs/Blu-rays, local NAS, Cloud Backup, etc. The primary goal of a backup is to avoid data loss.
