Yes, I wrote about this last January, too, because I just can’t stress how important it is. Please, Please, Please….Back Up Your Files! Don’t do it for me, do it for you. There is no need of forging full steam ahead without securing what you already have. Invest the time and the money into protecting your projects, pictures, music, and any other data that you like having around. If not, you run the risk of never seeing it again. Check around for an external USB hard drive, preferably one that does not need and external power source. Go for a solid-state hard drive if your budget allows. CDs and USB flash drives are cheaper options. Keep your back-up drives in a waterproof and fire resistant container just in case. Depending on your tolerance for sharing your data, online back-up services offer the greatest solution for making sure your files are cared for.
Also, what’s in your wallet? If you looked for your wallet right now only to find that it was lost or stolen, could you recall everything that’s in it? Do you know the policy or membership numbers on your cards? Do you have vital business contacts or discount codes in your wallet? How about a photo that may be the last one in existence? Well I do. But…I have the things that are in my billfold listed and photocopied in a separate secure location just in cast I lose my wallet…AGAIN. It’ll take a little time to get it done but it may cost you more time if you don’t do it now.
Taking this essential step now will prevent you from having to reacquire or recreate your files in the future.
