5 Ways to Back up Your Data

 If you want to back up the data on your PC, here are five ways you can do so. Each method has its pros and cons. For the ultimate in safety, choose two and use them concurrently. For example, use an off-site cloud storage service with on-site network-attached storage (NAS). That way, if either fails, you still have a backup.

The best Cloud storage services keep your data safe with end-to-end encryption. They also offer free storage space and reasonable fees for additional space. Since your data is in a remote location, you can access it from anywhere by both computer and mobile device as long as you have internet access.

Plenty of other cloud storage services are around: MegaBackup, Nextcloud, Box, Spideroak One, and iDrive, to name a few. It's probably best to stay away from newer services. You don't want to sign on one day and learn the startup you use to store your data has gone out of business.

Save It to an External Hard Drive

External and portable hard drives connect to one computer at a time. They're usually wired devices, although some have wireless capabilities. Many now come with USB 3.0 capabilities, but your computer must also have USB 3.0 to take advantage of this feature.

Burn It to a CD, DVD, or Blu-Ray Disc

Once the gold standard in data backup, burning data to CDs, DVDs, or Blu-ray discs is now a much less popular, albeit still reliable, method of data backup.

Put It on a USB Flash Drive

USB flash drives are like tiny solid-state drives that you can carry in your pocket. While they were once expensive and available only in small capacities, their prices have dropped and size increased.

Free space and affordable upgrades.

What We Don't Like

Capacity limitations for free storage.

The risk of a site closing.

Must reach the internet to access your backup files.

Save It to an External Hard Drive

What We Like

Easy to use.

With software, you can schedule backups and never worry about them again.

What We Don't Like

Hard disk drives run the risk of failure.

Solid-state drives have less risk but can be expensive for large-capacity drives.

Should be stored off-site in case of fire or another catastrophe.

Burn It to a CD, DVD, or Blu-Ray Disc

What We Like

Drive failure not an issue.

Can store safely in a second location (safety deposit box, for example).

What We Don't Like

Time-consuming to manage the backups.

Assumes future of CD-capable technology. Some equipment no longer includes a drive for this purpose.

Can get pricey for large amounts of data as you continue to buy additional discs.

Once the gold standard in data backup, burning data to CDs, DVDs, or Blu-ray discs is now a much less popular, albeit still reliable, method of data backup.

Put It on a USB Flash Drive

What We Like

Affordable.

Portable.

Available in USB 3.0.

What We Don't Like

Easy to misplace (not recommended for long-term storage of crucial information because of this risk).

Not always durable.

Capacity limitations.

USB flash drives are like tiny solid-state drives that you can carry in your pocket. While they were once expensive and available only in small capacities, their prices have dropped and size increased.

Save It to a NAS Device

What We Like

Can back up several computers at once.

Can be set for automatic backup.

What We Don't Like

Pricey.

Possibility of drive failure.

A NAS (network-attached storage) is a server that’s dedicated to saving data. It can operate either wired or wirelessly—depending on the drive and your computer—and once configured, it can display as simply another drive on your computer.
