Assignment Introduction:

The benefit of doing research of backing up all files:

1. I discovered that there's different methods you can use to backup computer files.

backup.
4. I ended up doing research about this and seen that there is a lot I do not know.
Question 1 (20 marks)

Backing up important files on your computer is crucially important for data safety.
Here's how you can do it:

1.External Hard Drive: Use an external hard drive to manually copy and paste
important files. This method is straightforward but actually requires manual effort.

Cloud Storage Services: Utilize cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox,
or OneDrive to automatically back up your files online. These services offer a certain
amount of free storage and additional space for a fee charged .

3. Backup Software: Install backup software like Acronis True Image, EaseUS Todo
Backup, or Macrium Reflect. These tools allow you to schedule automatic backups
and even offer features like disk imaging for full system backups.

4. Network Attached Storage (NAS): Set up a NAS device on your home network to
store backups. NAS devices can be configured to automatically back up files from
multiple computers.

5. Incremental Backup: Perform incremental backups where only the changes made
since the last backup are saved. This saves time and storage space compared to full
backups on computers.

6. Offline Backup: Create offline backups on physical media such as DVDs or Blu-
ray discs. This method is less common due to limitations in storage capacity and also
inconvenience.

7. File Syncing Services: Use file syncing services like Resilio Sync or Sync.com to
automatically synchronize files across multiple devices, providing a form of backup.

8. Built-in Backup Tools: Take advantage of built-in backup tools offered by your
operating system. For example, Windows has File History and macOS has Time
Machine installed.

9. RAID Arrays: Implement RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks)

configurations for redundancy and data protection. RAID setups distribute data across
multiple disks to safeguard against drive failures and crashes.

10. Hybrid Backup Solutions: Combine multiple backup methods for comprehensive
data protection. For example, you could use a combination of cloud storage, external
hard drives, and periodic offline backups too.

Before choosing a backup method, consider factors like the amount of data you need
to back up, your budget, and the level you require. It's also essential to regularly test
your backups to ensure they can be restored successfully in the event of data loss.
Cloud drive can be used to back up files.
