How often does it happen that we lose important data that we have put hours to collect, the photos of the last family trip, a collection of the oldest albums of our favorite musicians because of a hard disk crash? We have all been there and faced all the difficulties attached to the hard disk crashes. Moreover once the computer starts working again, the painful procedure of reconfiguring all the passwords, bookmarks and network configurations only add insult to injury. However, we often forget how easily we can avoid such a horrendous situation. The solution lies in two simple words – Data Backup. All we need to do is to take out some time and back up all the data and settings to avoid wasting more time in future when we may need it the most. For more details go online.

So now the important question is how do we backup our files? Here are a few tips

• Manual Backup- This is the most common method of data backup. Here all we have to do is save all the important data and files in a removable media like external hard disks, CDs, DVDs or even a pen drive, if the data is not too big.
• Easy Transfer Feature- It is one feature which makes backing up data easier. It allows the user to backup all the files and data in one computer to another. For further information visit the website.
