Before it happens you think it won’t – but the chances are it probably WILL HAPPEN at some point and you’ll really kick yourself if you haven’t taken precautions. So… is your valuable computer data backed up – will you be ok if your computer died on you today?

It nearly happened to me last year but was just able to save all my important files before my computer finally gave up. But that near-miss gave me a nasty shock and I now do backups pretty regularly. You can back-up using services online but I prefer to use my own backup hard drives. I use 2, for safety.

The best would be to use a combination of online back-up services together with your own hard drives - there is some risk in using online backup services which I’ll go over in another post. But if you wanted to go for the online option now you can google ‘online backup services’ or ‘online backup reviews’ and many services come up.

I used to manually copy from my computer to my hard-drives but some months ago I found an excellent backup software and since then have used that. It transfers files a lot faster and once you’ve told the software what to back up, it starts each time with just one click and it’s away.

I saw that PC World Magazine made this comment about SyncBack and I can second it with a full heart:

“There are many backup programs out there, but few as elegant and powerful as SyncBack from 2BrightSparks”. PC World Magazine.

You can try it free for 30 days. It’s very easy to set up and they have an excellent Help section and Customer Support.

: Superb! Once Tried… Never Forgotten!

…It’s a small price for peace of mind
