In our digital-first era, our most treasured items are photos, videos, files, and projects that reside on our devices. These invaluable pieces of our lives are at risk of being lost due to human mistakes, accidental deletion, hardware malfunctions, theft, or cyberattacks. Unfortunately, many realize the importance of backups only when it's too late. If your content matters to you, it's essential to have a dependable backup plan in place. Now is the perfect time to reassess your strategy and ensure your data is safe. Here's how to establish an effective backup system.
