The holiday season is upon us and with that comes gatherings of family and friends. Chances are there will be plenty of opportunities for pictures. Before you head over the hills or through the woods, take a moment and save the pictures you have taken with your camera to your computer.
Saving photos on your computer will free up space on your memory card to capture all the fun memories this time of year brings. For any of you that love to take pictures with your smartphones, remember to save those pictures off to your computer as well. You will be glad you did if your phone doesn’t make it through the season.
There are even options to have the images stored in the cloud as a backup.
It’s also a good time of year to make sure all your other files are being backed up. Can you afford to lose everything on your hard drive?
It’s not a question of if your computer hard drive will crash, but when.
There are many ways to back up your important documents and pictures from your computer. You can purchase an external hard drive and have it automatically backup the requested files or you could use a cloud service like Backblaze or Crashplan.
There are pros and cons to purchasing a hard drive versus using a cloud service; however, the most important thing is to back up your information and have it be automatic. If you have to think about doing it, it won’t happen. Feel free to call us if you have any questions.
