A backup is a copy of your files stored somewhere separate from your computer or phone. If your device breaks, gets stolen, or stops working, a backup lets you recover your photos, documents, and other data instead of losing them forever. This category covers the different ways to back up your files and how each method works.
The articles here answer practical questions: what types of backups exist, which storage options suit different situations, how often you should back up, and what to do when you need to restore your files. You'll learn the trade-offs between cloud storage, external hard drives, and other approaches so you can choose what fits your needs and comfort level.
