All about Backups

A backup is a copy of important files kept in a safe place. If a device is lost or breaks, a backup lets you restore your work.

Experts recommend keeping more than one copy in different places.

Backups can be saved on an external drive or in cloud storage.

A good habit is to back up your files regularly, perhaps every week. Keep photos, school work and other important things in your backup. Having two copies in two different places is even safer than having just one.
