It’s World Backup Day, and if you haven’t established a backup plan yet, now is the perfect time to get started! As I shared in my video, I often find myself in the role of an undertaker, witnessing the unfortunate fallout when things go awry. Considering that professional data recovery can cost between $2000 and $4000, investing around $100 in a backup drive is a smart choice! If you need assistance with setting up your backup, we offer this service for free at MacMedics! You can either bring your own blank hard drive or buy one from us.
Additionally, keep in mind that a key element of any backup strategy is “Trust but verify.” You’d be surprised at how many people initiate a backup process only to discover that it either never finished or stopped functioning years ago. Make it a point to check in with yourself two or three times a year to assess your backup plan and ensure everything is working as it should, confirming that your data is being backed up the way you expect.
