Backing Up Your Data

How many times have you been carrying on with your computing like you normally do and all of a sudden, your computer crashes and you lose everything forever. Your answer is very likely either never or maybe once. This is because computers have become fairly reliable and the likelihood of a hard drive failing is becoming more and more a thing of the past. Does this mean that we can now go on in life free of safety and never worry about losing our data again? Most definitely not.

Computers, while they are wonderful machines and perform tasks almost magical in nature, are mechanical. Mechanical things can be built very reliable but they will break at some point. This may seem off topic but if you are going to do any web design or store any important data pertinent to your website, you need to back up your data. If you have decided to design your own website, make sure to keep a copy of every page and every bit of code stored safely away from harm’s way. Obviously we all think about what we could’ve saved had we thought about it but now that you know, you won’t lose all the important things that your website counts on you having.

This goes for work you are doing on your desktop. System or application crashes are far more likely than a hard drive crash and if you happen to be working on the latest product or shopping cart idea for your e-commerce site, you could lose it forever. So don’t be afraid to save, save, and save again!

Well, consider yourself warned. It is always good to pass on some advice that I’ve learned the hard way (don’t ask). Get an external hard drive or even store it remotely through a good company like Carbonite or Mozy. I would prefer to store it myself but most companies do a great job of doing it for you.
