技巧为支持您的计算机系统和数据文件

保证读其他岗位从备用数据系列!

确定您支持您的数据是一个我们在自助书听见事的那些真正地重要，但不那么迫切类型! 不幸地，因为多数人的我们有吨个人，与工作相关和关于我们的计算机的企业数据，支持您的数据!是极端重要的!

这我以后将更新将帮助您开始的一个短的指南，如果您是不知道关于怎样去支持事那些人的之一!

要了解的第一件事是您能根本上支持项目的二个类型：操作系统和它伴生的文件或通常分开地被存放在另一驱动或在您我的文件或桌面的您的数据。首先我们谈论支持您的数据，因为那比OS通常重要。我们将谈论操作系统在另一个岗位!

然而您支持您的数据，确定它不在计算机! 一样傻象也许听起来，我看见了简单地复制了他们的数据对其他文件夹或另一分开的许多人(象D ：)。这不会帮助，因此不做它! 这您想要使用的媒介：

1. CD's/DVD -这是最容易并且优良通常是为多数人用更新的计算机。如果您能烧DVD，则，除非您有吨歌曲或录影，您应该大概能适合您的数据1个或2个圆盘。 Use your favorite burning software and you’re done!

2. External HD’s/Zip Drives - I find this to be the best way to store my data because external hard drives are fairly cheap and you can get a large amount of space for a good price. Simply plug in your USB or Firewire drive and copy the data onto the new drive. What’s even nicer is that with an external drive, you can configure a backup using Windows to start automatically and as long as your drive stays connected (this applies to desktops that are sitting at home), you won’t have to manually do anything!!! And that’s really why people don’t backup their data, it’s usually not because people don’t know, but no one ever gets around to it! So schedule a backup and you’ll never have to worry about it again! I’ll explain step by step how to setup a backup in Windows later.

3. Online file storage - This is quickly becoming the next best place to store your files because it’s requires no extra hardware, it’s conveniently accessible, and it’s pretty cheap! If you don’t want to buy anything or can’t figure out how to connect something to your computer, then try this option! Simply create an account and there will be a button called Upload, click that and choose your files!

This site has 1GB of free storage and it’s only $4.99 a month for 5GB!!! That’s a lot of space!!!

AOL also has an online storage service called X-Drive and they have 5GB of storage for free!! Of course the only thing that is required for online storage is a broadband internet connection otherwise it’ll take forever to upload your data.

Update: Here’s a great post from lifehack.org that lists 90 online storage services you can use to upload your computer’s data.

4. Service specific storage - I call this service specific storage because it refers to one particular set of data being stored in its own way that’s usually better than just dumping it onto some server somewhere where you only see the file names.

For example, I use an external hard drive to store a lot of my personal documents, songs, pictures, etc, but I also use Picasa Web Albums to upload all my photos because there it acts as not only a backup, but also allows me to share photos with others, etc. I wrote another post on how to setup Web Albums and you can read it by going here:

If you have a web site or a blog, you should routinely download all of the files to your local computer as backups. Always be prepared for the worst!
