Happy March 31st! Today is the day we remind all of you to backup your computer!

Everyone has lots of important files and documents stored on your computer and backing them up is something that a lot of people put off until it is too late.
If you want an easy set it and forget it option, look at online backups. BackBlaze offers affordable unlimited backups. https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-backup.html
Personally I use both online backups and Veeam Endpoint Agent for Windows Free, it is an enterprise grade piece of backup software that can be used for local backups to a NAS or USB Drive.
Perfect backups should follow the 3-2-1 rule.
The rule is: keep at least three (3) copies of your data, and stored on at least two (2) different storage medias, with one (1) of them located offsite.
For example,
You have one copy of data on your computer in your house
You have one copy of your data on an external hard drive in your house
You have one copy of your data on the cloud
