CyberTip: How to properly back up your personal data

How to properly backup your data:

Experts recommend the 3-2-1 rule for backup: 3 copies of your data, 2 local (on different devices) and 1 off-site.

What to do:

• Keep the original data on your computer
• Backup on an external hard drive
• Backup up on a cloud service

A good backup system requires redundancy, with multiple copies of your important data so the data isn’t lost forever if disaster strikes.
