Any of these strike terror into your heart?

If you have a reliable backup system in place, your anxiety will be considerably lessened. While backups by themselves don't constitute complete disaster recovery, they are a significant part of good computer maintenance.

But how do you know which method to use? There are many available, and they offer features such as portability, accessibility, and automatic scheduling.

Let the experts at The Computer Cellar, and Aggie Technologies help you navigate this complex territory. Here are some suggestions to get you started on ensuring your data's safety.

First, analyze what you have on your computer. What do you use it for? What kind of data are you protecting?

Then, consider these options:

• Manual or automatic
• Complete or differential
• Exact or versioned
• Individual files, or the whole computer?
• Option of creating a separate section (partition) on your hard disk
• Tape drive
• Flash drive
• External drive
• Offsite/online

We can then help you decide which backup method is better. One thing to consider is recovery of files. How easy and immediate does it have to be? And how do you want to access the recovery process?

Important questions, but questions we can help you answer. Feel free to contact The Computer Cellar for all your computer needs, including backups, and let us help you work more securely and with greater peace of mind!
