There are many ways to prevent data lost such as data recovery, data restore and back up. These things are the most common things that people will deal with, especially for them whom works in the office and really need a protection for their virtual data. Sometimes we ought to think that our data is safely store on the harddisk, yes it is safe enough to keep your files into harddisk until it reach failure time and all of your data is gone.

Is it too much that important to back up your data?

To quote a friend of mine ” There are only two types of harddrives, the ones that have failed and the ones that will fail”. And yes it is too important to backup your data because the storage drive on your Desktop PC or notebook might crash without warning. Just to remind all, no matter how expensive it is, it’s still electronics. Without any further ado, below are the ways to keep your data safe;

01. Organize your data nicely on your computer.

02. Regularly Make a back up,

03. And make it multiple copies in some separate places.

04. Find the right medium to back up your data.

05. If it’s possible, instead of having one, make copies of your data in several mediums like CDs, DVDs or external drives.

06. Name it, and keep it in safe and reachable place.

07. Avoid to having 2 or more copies for the same file on a single harddrive, even if it is in different partition.  Just in case you lose one of your harddrives

08. Buy a large CD / DVD storage case, really worth a penny.

09. In any other possibilities, you can use online storage that available on the internet. Keep it ONLINE and access it everywhere, come on people, this is 2009.

10. DO NOT back up your data in the middle of the night, chances of loosing data or wrongly-backing up your data is very high especially if your brain is exhausted during a whole day activity. Go get some sleep and back up your data tomorrow.

11. Lastly, go get some snacks and sofdrinks or watch some movies while the system backing up your data, because it’s boring.

Cheers,
