Backing up is a vital process for all people who use computers. Though it can be an annoying and painful process to do manually, if set-up with backup software, it can be an automated, daily task.
Backup Strategies
- Manual
- Manual backup is good for backing up certain files of high importance, but often takes long and is tiresome. When manually backing up data, you copy files and folders to a storage medium (like a CD or hard drive) using the operating system's file explorer. Whenever you change a file, you must copy it to the backup again. When you need to restore data from a manual backup, you copy the files from the backup to their place on the drive. The only advantage to manual backup is that you are not backing up the operating system.
- Full + Incremental
- In Full + Reverse Incremental, at first a full backup of the drive is created. Then, changed files are added to the backup, creating different versions of a file. When you restore from the backup, you can restore from different dates. You can also restore older versions of individual files.
