Backup is the activity of copying files or databases so that they will be preserved in case of equipment failure or other catastrophe. Backup is usually a routine part of the operation of large businesses with mainframes as well as the administrators of smaller business computers. For personal computer users, backup is also necessary but often neglected. The retrieval of files you backed up is called restoring them. So protect your work do the backup!

There’s a lot of freeware tools around for synchronising the folders on your computer with the back-up folders you create on a USB drive or DVD-RW.
One such is SyncBack (www.2brightsparks.com) which I’ve used for a while.
It will compare the contents of your working folders with the backup, and only copy or update anything that’s changed or new. You can group folders together. For example, your My Documents folder, plus your Outlook mail folders, plus all your Firefox mail – separate areas on your computer, and you make three separate profiles, then put all three into one group profile. Backing everything up becomes a one-click operation. The easier it is to do, the more likely you are to do it!
