3 Top Ways To Protect Your Data

You are about to start backing up your data...that's outstanding

, we all knew you would get around to it eventually, but now what! There are several ways to get a move on and get things done. None of them are right and none of them are wrong - some are just more convenient than others and some fit into some people's lifestyles better. Either way you choose, you will be infinitely better off because you will immediately start to experience the 3 main benefits of copying your data:

1. You have a copy now

2. You can get your life back to normal quickly if you lose your data

There are several popular ways to achieve a backup copy of your important files and none are mutually exclusive. As a matter of fact, depending on how important your data is to you and how difficult it would be to replace, you may want to strongly consider at least 2 of these top 3 ways to backup:

1. Jump/Flash Memory

These little guys are almost free now and can be written over and over again as you update. They can be a little bit of trouble though because you have to specify the files to be copied every time you backup. Very cheap at about $20 for 8 GB at the time of this writing.

2. CD/DVD

Storing a backup copy of your data on CD/DVD has gotten extremely easy now because most computers come equipped with a burner. Once you pop the disc in your burner you still have to specify the files you want it copy, just like with flash. The disc media is reliable but now you must find somewhere away from your computer to store the copy - otherwise, if you keep your copy where your computeris, it isn't a great plan. All storage of data needs to be remote and the more remote the better. CDs are pretty cheap - under $20 for 100 of them.

3. Online Backup

Backing up your files online is the easiest method of all and an excellent adjunct plan to backup with either flash or CDs. You are literally just a few clicks away from downloading the client software from the company and getting started backing up your files. The overwhelming advantage for the terminally busy is the fact that online backup is automatic, so you can't forget to do it. The cost is very reasonable at less than $5/month for home users.

The main thing is to not delay your decision to backup and make a move today to start using one or more of these ways of data backup.
