Don’t be an April Fool – Take the World Backup Day Pledge on March 31st. Now more than ever it is essential to practice backing up your digital data. World Backup Day is a day to increase awareness about protecting your personal data and performing regular backups. It is important for individuals as well as businesses to understand what a backup means and learn how to perform this task. According to the World Backup Day official site, “A backup is a second copy of all your important files — for example, your family photos, home videos, documents and emails. Instead of storing it all in one place (like your computer), you keep another copy of everything somewhere safe.” (http://www.worldbackupday.com/en/). An additional copy of your personal photos and files can be stored either on an external hard drive (also commonly known as a USB drive) and even may be backed up online. A few drivers available online include Amazon Cloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive. These online drivers are great for business professionals or students as they offer limited space ensuring the most important documents are kept safe. If you are still unsure about the need to backup your data and devices, check out these statistics provided on the World Backup Day official site,
