BAAACKINGUPimportant data can be

succchachore that it’s easy to forget

untttil it’s toolate.

With therise of cloud-based

stooorage, we relyonkeepingour files

stooored,safeand secure.The problem

withthe cloud is that it relies on the

sammmecontent on your PC.Cloud

stoooragesimplymirrors the files you’ve

stooored locally.Ifyou remove files from

youuurcloud folder,yourcloud service

couuuld automaticallyfind and re-add

unwwwanted replaced files,orcorrupted

alfiles couldbecopied to the cloud

their unusable form. This isn’t always

theeecase,but we’d stilladvise against

usinnngcloudservices suchasDropbox

as aaaprimarybackup solution.

With this in mind, we’d always recommend a

dedicatedbackup tool such as EasyBackup 2020.

Designedtobesimple forthe novice user, yousimply

have to select the files you wanttoback up and the

destination, and the tool will do therest.

Choose the files you want to back up,from

locations such as your pictures, documents and

music, manuallychoose individual files and folders

stored elsewhere on your computer, then plug in

your USBstick or an external drive andyour files

will be backed up automatically.

Of course,ifyou laterneed to recoveryour

data,you cansimply loadEasyBackup,choosea

restore date and retrieve yourdata from the drive.

It’s that simple.
