The simplest way to backup Tel: 01833 600160 Email : [email protected] your data is to physically copy stuff from Regulated by the Solicitors Regulation your computer to an external hard disk.

Authority Just plugin a hard disk and then open a

window with the files you want to copy and a window on the drive where you want to copy stuff and drag files from one place to the other with a mouse. This will work on almost any computer. The disadvantage of this method is that it is very slow and time consuming and is error prone because you have to make sure not to miss anything important – not easily done when you have dozens of folders each with hundreds of

files, emails hidden in an invisible folder

etc.. An effective backup plan has to be quick and easy or human nature takes over and it won’t get done regularly. 2) Regular Backups using a backup program. When you buy an external hard disk they often come with free backup software.
