Course overview
Lesson Overview
4.7 – Backing Up Files to Multiple Devices: Backups are your safety net against loss or damage. Store copies of important files on different devices or drives. One backup could live on a cloud service, another on a USB drive. This ensures your data survives if one fails. Update backups monthly to include recent changes. Label drives and folders so you know what’s inside. Keep portable backups in a secure, private spot. Avoid relying on just one device for everything. Redundancy means readiness, no matter what happens. Multiple backups protect your progress and peace of mind.
