Are you ready for your computer to blow up?
Probably not.
The most important thing you can do to protect
your data is to make backups.
Whether a computer costs $300, or $3,000, the
data on your computer is more valuable
than the physical computer.
Just think about how much time you spend producing
work on the computer: 3 hours a day? If you use
it only during workdays, that's 600 hours of
work.
That's a lot of work!
And admit it - you use the computer more than three
hours a day, five days a week.
Think about all your family photos and videos on your phone.
Think about the history of your company, or the history of your
time at the company. All your successes are on the
computer. Think about all the stories you posted to websites.
Now, imagine losing all that work to a failed hard
disk, or a thief who takes your laptop, or an accidentally
dropped phone.
You need to back up your data.
This book helps you understand backups from a "bird's eye"
view, without too much detail. Everything is explained in simple stories
of data loss nightmares, some that you may have already experienced.
Most of the solutions presented are the simple solutions.
This book be of special interest to the "Home IT Person",
but has some advice that's relevant to network administrators
as well.
