<title>Backup your important files</title>
<p>
What does it mean to back files up? It simply means to make a copy of a file or files for safekeeping. This is done in the event that the original files become unusable due to loss or corruption. These copies can be used to restore the original data in the event of loss. Copies should be stored on a different device from the original files. For example, you may use a USB drive, an external hard drive, a CD/DVD, or an off-site service.
</p>
<p>
The best way to backup up your files is to do so regularly, off-site and encrypted.</p>
