What is a computer backup?
A copy of a file or directory on a separate storage device so it may be used to restore the original after a data loss event.
Types of backups
Full backups allow you to make a copy of all the data files on your computer in a single task. They are perfect for computer novices and for the average home computer and should be performed weekly.
Differential backups only backup the files that have changed since your last full backup, and are quicker than full backups because less data is being backed up. But the amount of data being backed up grows with each differential backup until the next full back up.
Incremental backups only backup the files that have changed since your last backup (whether your last backup was a full or an incremental backup) so incremental backups are quicker and take less space, but restoration time is much longer as you must restore both your last full backup and all of the incremental backups performed since that time.
3-2-1 Rule
Have 3 copies of your important files (for example, your original on your computer, another copy on a USB hard drive, and a third copy backed up online).
Use 2 different types of media to back up the files (example, hard drive disk, DVDs).
Store 1 copy offsite (for example, with The Computer Corrector’s online backup service).
Considering your backup options
Many of today’s backup software programs offer a wide array of backup options; giving you the flexibility to create a backup and recovery solution that will fit your needs.
