Backup, or data backup, is a solution that is used to prevent the loss of valuable data stored on the device. The backup can be made e.g. on a computer or smartphone.

This is especially useful when: We are dealing with a device failure which resulted in data loss

• The device has been lost or stolen and we want to recover the data that was on it

• We do not trust 100% virtual clouds and we want to have a copy of important data

• We want to minimize the risk of data loss in a situation when the software or computer freezes or becomes infected with a virus

• We sometimes delete a file or data by mistake

• More people have access to our device

• We want a copy of the settings that we usually use on the device

What is backup? We already know what backup is and what its most important functions are. How do we back up our data? At the beginning, it is worth developing a good habit and drawing up a backup schedule for each device we use, i.e. computer, tablet, smartphone.

Backup consists in making a copy of the data and storing it in a safe place. Data can be ripped to DVD or external drive. They can also be posted in the cloud. The backup process is quite simple and intuitive - most devices perform such an operation automatically - just select the appropriate option.

• Go to Control Panel. The control panel has settings to manage most of the computer’s functions.

• Here, open the System and Security dialog.

• Tap on Backup and Restore

• Here you will see Create a System Image. You have to touch it.

• Now you will have to choose the location of your backup data. You can save the backup to a hard drive or an external source.

• Press Next to start the backup process, tap the Start backup button.

• The system image has been created. You can also create an additional System Image on USB or DVD / CD.

A good professional backup program allows you to back up individual files or folders, as well as entire partitions or disks, and then store them safely on a separate physical storage device. It also allows you to restore the operating system efficiently in the event that the hard disk is damaged or our computer is infected with a virus. They also save space by making full backups or system images.
