Backups

Atualizado/Updated: 2024-11-16

A backup is a copy of your data that is stored separately from the original, allowing you to restore it in case of data loss.

Backing up your data is crucial to protect against data loss due to hardware failure, accidental deletion, or cyber threats.

Here are some key points about backups:

Types of Backups

      • Full Backup: A complete copy of all data.
        Incremental Backup: Only the data that has changed since the last backup.
      • Differential Backup: All data that has changed since the last full backup.

Storage Options

      • External Drives: USB drives, external hard drives.
      • Cloud Storage: Services like OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox.
      • Network Storage: Network-attached storage (NAS) devices.

Backup Strategies

      • 3-2-1 Rule: Keep three copies of your data (one primary and two backups), on two different media, with one copy offsite.
      • Regular Backups: Schedule backups to occur automatically to ensure data is consistently protected.

Tools and Software

      • Windows Backup: Built-in tool for Windows users to back up files, settings, and apps.
      • File History: Another Windows feature that automatically backs up specific file folders.
