Performing regular back-ups is crucial to protecting your information from data loss.

To back up data, simply save copies of your important files, emails and folders. All portable data files stored on drives, disks and mobile laptops that include health data or other sensitive information should also be encrypted and password-protected at all times.

Backup Types

There are several common backup options.

• Full backup (copies all of your important information and can take up a lot of both time and space)
• Differential backup (saves files that you have added or edited since your last full backup)
• Incremental backup (saves files you have added or edited since your most recent backup)
