I’m not one for using fear tactics, but generally people start to get nervous when talking about backing up their digital files. Why is that? I think it’s because, even though we live in the digital age, no one feels completely comfortable with digital data. When you have a stack of paper or a ledger, you know exactly where it is and whether it is safe. Even if you file it away, it takes up physical space in a filing cabinet, and you can go right back and pull it out if you want. If you have locked, fireproof cabinets, you feel safe because they are protected in case of disaster or break-in. Maybe you even keep copies somewhere else, like a corporate office. That was the old backup system.

  • The first thing a user can do to reduce her risk of cyber attacks, regardless of the operating system, is to install an Internet Security software suite, such as Norton Security (for both Mac and PC) on the machine. Even Macs can use the added protection these days.
  • Bad actors can exploit endpoint vulnerabilities to mount attacks or steal confidential data. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager lets you enforce least privilege security at the endpoint, helping contain threats and reduce risks.

Our computers may emulate the look of paper. But honestly, where does all your work go when you close the program and shut your computer off? It’s all there, but it’s not. Sure, you “save” it, but is it really safe? If your computer just decided never to turn on again, or smoke started pouring out, would you know how to retrieve your files? Does the very thought make your break out in a cold sweat?

We all know we should “save early and often.” So what about backing up our files? We don’t even know where all our files are physically, how are we supposed to know how to back them up? And where is the safest place to store our backup files? You could get an external USB drive, which will save you if your computer goes up in smoke, but not if your house or office burns down or gets broken into. You could save it to the Dropbox or Google Drive, but that can get expensive… and let’s face it, not everyone’s comfortable with online storage. (The expression “where in the world is that document?” can now be taken literally).

Ok, so once we find our files, how do we protect them? Here are some good principles to follow for a solid backup plan:

  1. Keep at least a daily local backup on a USB or network drive for easy access. Use a program like SyncBack for Windows or Time Machine for the Mac. (I don’t recommend using Windows Backup or most programs that come pre-loaded on consumer-grade external backup drives).
  2. Keep at least a weekly off-site backup for bigger disasters. Here, you can use cloud storage, if you are comfortable with it, or you can rotate backup drives to another location on weekends.
  3. For extra piece-of-mind, keep continuous versioning file backups (for the occasional “oops, I deleted it!”) as well incremental system backups (for quickly recovering from computer crashes).

If you are saving sensitive data, you can add encryption using BitLocker (Windows) or TrueCrypt (Mac/Linux). This is also a safeguard to consider if you want to use cloud storage, but just not sure about who’s going to have access to it.

My personal favorite for a comprehensive backup plan is CRASHPLAN™ by Code42 (www.crashplan.com). Their software is free and easy to set up using local storage. Even if you opt for cloud storage, their prices are pretty reasonable – and they use 448-bit local encryption by default, so none of your data is visible to anyone except you.

So there y’go. Now you have not excuse to keep procrastinating your backup plan. And, if you just don’t have the time or inclination to deal with it, you can always call your friendly, local tech guy.

I'm the guy with answers to all your tech questions.
