Backup Options

Backup options:

Should I backup my PC /MAC / Cell Phone??

There are more Pro's then Con's for backing up essential "Data" especially if your PC / MAC Etc. if your device crashes or gets HACKED!, or even Stolen / Lost


Local Backup:

Your PC or MAC can do a local backup either to a secondary drive or partitioned drive.

There are different ways to backup your PC and recommend only backing up the "Profile Data" as this save space and time during backups.

There are many freeware applications that can do this for you.

I found that "FBackup" was one of the best and configurable to your specific needs. (Recommend "Mirror" option of users profile) for best results


Cloud Backup Options:

Microsoft:

There are various options here, if your have a Windows PC, you should have access to OneDrive (limited to 5GB for free account) or Monthly/Yearly Subscription Plan expanding to various Cloud Backup Size Options.

Recommend only backing up the "Profile Data" as this save space and time during backups.

Google:

There are various options here, if your have a Windows PC with a GMAIL Account, you can access your Google Drive (limited to 15GB for free account) or Monthly/Yearly Subscription Plan expanding to various Cloud Backup Size Options.

If you have a Droid Cell Phone, best take advantage of this Google Drive for your phone data in addition to any Cell phone Carriers service backup.

This Google Drive will give you access to your both your PC/MAC and Cell Backup files and Share options.

Recommend only backing up the "Profile Data" as this save space and time during backups.


MAC OS Computers:

MAC OS has a built in backup called "Time Machine" and can do a local backup either to a Secondary Drive or External Drive and or a Cloud Service such as iCloud or Third Party Cloud Service.


Third Party Backup Options: (Subscription Required after Trial Period)

There are various options here, you can use "Dropbox" / "Carbonite"/ "Amazon" Etc. just to name a few, check reviews and pricing before selecting your solution.

Again, only backing up of the "Profile Data" is required as this save space and time during backups.
