Why is it important to make backup copies of our equipment?

 Computers are not immune to internal disk failures, viruses or even "accidental" deletions. Therefore, being aware of the importance of performing a backup or "backup" periodically, will help us prevent data loss.

That is why it is important to consider these aspects:

1.  What should we backup? "Review your information and think what data is important.
   
   
2. Make backup copies as often as you work on your computer. If you change your data every day but only schedule one backup per month, in case of loss before the backup date, all changes will be lost.
   
   
3.  After making copies it is important that not all be stored in the same place. It is very important to always have a copy outside our network, today there are many providers of copies in the cloud.
   
   
4. Do not save only the last backup you made, if not the previous ones, at least for a reasonable time. For example, if today you realize that an important file has disappeared and when you restore yesterday's backup it is not, you can go back in time until you find it.

      5. Performing periodic recovery tests is a way to ensure that copies work well.

       6. Security Protect the backup data in the same way you do with the original data on your                         computer. It is no use protecting our computer with the best security measures if in the                         meantime our backup data is easily accessible.
