Backup Your Data

Backing up data means creating a copy of your information and saving it to another device or to cloud storage.

Backing up regularly means you will always have a recent version of your information saved. This will help you recover quicker if your data is lost or stolen.

You can also turn on automatic backup. This will regularly save your information into cloud storage, without you having to remember.

When backing up your information to a USB stick or an external hard drive, ensure to disconnect it from your computer when a backup isn’t being done.

Backing up data is not a requirement of Cyber Essentials but highly recommended.
