Maintenance Monday!

Backing up your computer means creating copies of your important files and storing them in a safe place. This helps protect your data from accidental deletion, hardware failure, viruses, or cyberattacks.

Common Backup Methods:
* External Hard Drive – Copy files to an external USB or hard drive.
* Cloud Storage – Use services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to store files online.
* Automatic Backup Software – Programs like Time Machine (Mac) or File History (Windows) can automate backups.

For best protection, follow the 3-2-1 Rule:
* Keep 3 copies of your data
* Store it on 2 different types of storage
* Keep 1 copy offsite (like in the cloud)

Regular backups ensure you don’t lose important files in case of an emergency!
