Backup Your Computer

if you do not want to lose your valuable information. To be sure, there are several ways to do this. For instance, you could copy your documents, music, and photos to a thumb drive or external hard drive. Also, you could use backup software to backup your important files or the entire computer to a backup drive. Frequently, people prefer the simplicity of backing up to the cloud. Because I like to easily recover from a crash, I backup my entire computer to an external drive. On the other hand, if you don’t have anything to lose and don’t need easy recovery, you don’t need to backup your computer. Granted, there are not many people who do not need some kind of backup.

Following is a transcript

of a person who wants to backup his computer and a mischievous tech support person. As is my policy, I have changed the names to protect the guilty. Any resemblance to real life situations is purely coincidental. Or is it? Perhaps, it is a little bit of both. I hope you enjoy my goofy attempt at geek humor.   I welcome you to express your opinions and share your frustrating experiences in the comments below.  If you enjoyed this post, please feel free to share it with others. Thank you for stopping by.  Craig Herberg
