It only takes a minute of your time to copy your important files to a drive or the cloud. I (potentially) lost one year of progress on a book I’m writing because of my negligence.

So please don’t be like me.

    Keep three copies of your data: the original and at least two backups

    Store the backups on different devices

    Store one copy offsite in case of natural disaster such as fire

    Test your backups. If you don’t know that they work, what’s the point.
