Backing up is very important. You can sleep peacefully if you know you have something to use even when your laptop or desktop crashes. You can either buy an external hard drive or burn files to DVDs. Or you can use an online backup service to help you save your important files.

I once suffered because of not backing up. Imagine losing so many files including photos that I haven’t had printed yet. I was so upset when it happened that after that I immediately bought an external hard drive to use for backups. Now I do it weekly to be sure.
