Making sure you back up your data is one of those really important, but not so urgent type of things that we hear about in self-help books!确保你回到了你的数据是那种真正重要的,但不是那么迫切类型的东西,我们所听到的关于自我帮助的书籍! Unfortunately, since many of us have tons of personal, work-related, and business data on our computers, it is EXTREMELY important to back up your data!!不幸的是,由于我们很多人都吨个人,与工作有关的,和业务数据在我们的电脑上,这是极为重要的备份您的数据!

Here’s a short guide that I’ll update later which will help you get started if you’re one of those people who has no idea on how to go about backing things up!以下是简短的指南,我将更新后,这将帮助你开始,如果您是其中之一,这些人根本不知道如何去备份的东西了!

First thing to understand is that you can essentially back up two types of items: either the operating system and its associated files OR your data which is usually separately stored on another drive or in your My Documents or Desktop.第一件事不可理解的是,你可以基本上回到了两种类型的项目:要么操作系统及其相关文件或你的资料,这些资料通常是分开储存在另一个驱动器或在你我的文档或桌面。 First we’re going to talk about backing up your data because that’s usually more important than the OS.首先,我们要谈谈您的数据备份工作,因为这样的通常来得重要操作系统。 We’ll talk about the operating system in another post!我们将谈论操作系统在另一职位!

However you back up your data, make sure it’s not on the computer!但是你回到了你的数据,确保它不会对电脑! As silly as that may sound, I have seen many people who have simply copied their data to other folders or onto another partition (like D:).因为无聊,因为这听起来可能,我见过很多人都简单地照搬他们的数据到其他文件夹或到其他分区(如D组: ) 。 This will not help, so don’t do it!这不仅无助,所以不要那么做! Here’s the media you want to use:这里的媒体你想使用:

1. CD’s/DVD’s - This is the easiest and is usually fine for most people with newer computers. 1 。 光碟的/ DVD-这是最容易的,并通常是好对大多数人来说,与较新的电脑。 If you can burn DVD’s, then unless you have tons of songs or videos, you should probably be able to fit your data onto 1 or 2 discs.如果您可以刻录DVD的,那么,除非你有吨的歌曲或影片,你或许应该能够适合你的数据输入1或2个光盘。 Use your favorite burning software and you’re done!用你最喜欢的刻录软件就万事OK了!

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. 2 。 对外房署/抽取式硬碟 -我认为这是最好的方法来储存我的数据,因为外接式硬盘相当便宜,你可以得到大量的空间,为好价钱。 Simply plug in your USB or Firewire drive and copy the data onto the new drive.只要打开您的USB或FireWire驱动器和复制数据到新的驱动器。 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!!!什么的,甚至更好的是一个外部驱动器,你可以配置一个备份使用Windows自动启动,并且只要您的硬盘停留连通(这适用于台式机是坐在家中) ,你不会有手工做什么! 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!这是真的,为什么人们不备份他们的数据,它的通常不是因为人们不知道,但从来没有人为了避开它! So schedule a backup and you’ll never have to worry about it again!所以附表备份,你就会永远不必担心它再次! I’ll explain step by step how to setup a backup in Windows later.我将逐步说明如何设置备份在Windows后。

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! 3 。 网上文件存储 -这是迅速成为下一个最好的地方,让你可以储存档案,因为它并不需要额外的硬件,它的方便查阅,这实在是太便宜了! If you don’t want to buy anything or can’t figure out how to connect something to your computer, then try this option!如果你不想要购买什么或不知道怎样来连接东西到你的计算机,然后尝试这个选项! Simply create an account and there will be a button called Upload, click that and choose your files!简单地创建一个帐户将有一个按钮,所谓的上传,点击并选择你的文件!

This site has 1GB of free storage and it’s only $4.99 a month for 5GB!!!本网站已1GB的免费存储空间,以及它的只有是每月4.99美元,为5 GB的! That’s a lot of space!!! that'sa大量空间!

AOL also has an online storage service called X-Drive and they have 5GB of storage for free!! AOL也有一个在线存储服务所谓的X驱动,他们有5 GB的存储空间免费! 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.当然唯一要做的是要求在线存储是一个宽频网际网路连线,否则将采取永远上传你的数据。

Update: Here’s a great post from lifehack.org that lists 更新:这里是伟大的员额从lifehack.org说名单 90 online storage services 90在线存储服务 you can use to upload your computer’s data. 你可以使用上传你的电脑上的数据。

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. 4 。 服务的具体存储 -我要求这项服务的具体存储,因为它是指一个特定的数据被存放在以自己的方式表示的,通常要比单纯倾销丢在有些服务器的地方,你只能看到文件名。

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:举例来说,我使用外接式硬碟储存了很多我的个人文件,歌曲,图片等,但我也用的Picasa网路相簿上传我所有的照片,因为它可以作为不仅是一个备份,而且还可以让我分享照片与他人等,我写了一个岗位上如何设定网路相簿,你可以看它去这里:

How to setup Google Picasa Web Albums for Newbies如何设置Google公司的Picasa网路相簿,为新手

If you have a web site or a blog, you should routinely download all of the files to your local computer as backups.如果你有一个网站或博客,你应该经常下载的所有文件到您的本地计算机作为备份。 Always be prepared for the worst!永远是最坏的打算!
