Due to fast improvent & stability in computing technology we sometimes tend to become reluctant of our precious data stored in the Hard Drives. I am not talking from a very technical perspective but from a layman's point of view. The Hard Drive data might contain your important project work or might be some lovely snaps of your last picnic or some other very important stuff. Remember that Hard Drives are mechanical devices & are bound to failures how much ever guarantee or warranty the manufacturer may offer. What to do in such a case ?
You don't even need to shell out much on expensive Backup devices or infact Backup softwares. Just be prepared to invest a little on the Portable USB Hard Drives readily avaialable in the market. To have a smooth backup of your Home or Office data just create BRIEFCASE type folders (in Windows) in these USB Drives corresponding to your Home or Office PC, as required. Once the Briefcases are created, just copy the folders in your Home or Office PC to the respective Briefcase folders. The adavantage of Briefcase type folders is that it easily synchronizes with your PC's Hard Disk. It only updates the files & folders from your PC to USB Drive that have changed after the previous backup. Thus you need not copy the entire file / folder once again to backup your data. This saves on repetitive copying & offcourse time. Also ensure to defragment your Portable USB Hard Drive from time to time & keep it in a secluded location so that your data is always safe & secure.
A stich in time saves nine.
