People very rarely think about what were to happen if their valuable files were to be lost - until it's too late. Do not make that mistake. Use World backup Day as an occasion to backup all your precious files now.
Backups are the only prevention from data loss not only in case your HD fails but also when your computer gets infected – for example with ransomware encrypting your files.
Article on WeLiveSecurity.com titled 6 Ways to Backup Your Data offers pros and cons to each of the backup options, so you only need to decide which one to chose.
Remember, none of the backup options is really 100% safe. Chose rather more than one backup. Just to be safe.
