Create a reliable backup

Protect important files with a simple multi-copy plan.

1. Identify irreplaceable documents, photos, projects and account-recovery information.
2. Keep the working copy plus a second copy on a different device or external drive.
3. Maintain another copy in a separate location, such as a reputable cloud service.
4. Test restoration of a few files and schedule recurring backups instead of relying on memory.

Follow the official instructions for your device or service. Back up important data before changing settings or attempting repairs.
