Why you need to back up your computer data

It is estimated that more than 25% of computer users have never backed up data. Are you among them? Have you ever been on the downside of a computer crash and lost all your files, pictures and data? Many have. Computer data is lost for more reasons than a crash. There are incidences of theft, flood, fire, viruses, and malicious software. So, it's no surprise that there is now a 'World Backup Day' - March 31st - to help educate the public about the risk of data loss and prompt us to take action and back up critical computer files. World Backup Day may not be a day of celebration and fun in March, but if you take the action of backing up your data, this day could lead to a future sigh of relief or celebration because that backup exists! Creating a backup of your files, videos, pictures and other critical data that you don't want to lose is as simple as duplicating those files somewhere other than your computer. Consider an external hard drive or an online drive - also called cloud storage - like OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive. As a precaution, it is important to consider more than one backup location. If there is someone in your life who you'd like to see participate in World Backup Day, please forward this message to them.    Your Friendly Neighborhood Flooring Dealer,            Matt Capell            President of Capell Flooring and Interiors
