This often leads to losing files, which may be more valuable than the computer itself. Recovering these files can be expensive and time-consuming, especially if the hardware is damaged. Sometimes, the files can't be recovered at all. </p> <p class="text"> You might also need to restore your entire operating system. This is usually a lengthy process if you have to start from scratch, especially if you need to reinstall a bunch of programs and reapply settings. </p> <p class="text"> This is especially important for home users who don't have many resources for full system recovery and have to do it themselves instead of calling expensive IT professionals. Their files are important and often irreplaceable, like family photos and videos, unique artwork, and similar stuff. </p> <p class="text"> IT professionals say a backup a day keeps data recovery away. It's much easier and cheaper to invest in file backup software and storage than to deal with emergency data recovery. This article will give you detailed suggestions on how to create a data backup plan for your personal computer and implement it using our disk imaging and data backup software <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.drive-image.com/">R-Drive Image</a>. </p> <p class="text"> We've published some articles in our <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.r-tt.com/Knowledge-Base.html">Knowledge Base</a> that describe creating data backup plans for small business servers (for example <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.drive-image.com/data-backup-plan.html">Creating a Data Consistent, Space Efficient Data Backup Plan for a Small Business Server</a>), but they might be too complicated for home users. </p> <p> Another difference between business servers and personal computers is what kind of data needs to be backed up. Business servers usually contain complex data structures like databases, so backing up the entire hard drive is often the best option. Personal computers, on the other hand, generally have separate files, so regularly backing up only those files would be better. </p> <p class="text"> There are also some restrictions on where to store backup files. They're limited to external USB storage devices and maybe a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device. You can also use various cloud services. They're reliable, well-protected, and available from almost anywhere, plus they might be free for a limited amount of storage space (15 GB for Google Drive, for example). </p> <p class="text"> When we say "a personal use computer" we mean two very different types of computers, and therefore they need different backup plans. </p> <p class="text"> Click the plan you think most suitable to you. You may adapt these plans to your specific needs. </p> </div></div> <div class="feature-tabs feature-tabs-wide"><div class="section"> <div class="feature-tabs-body"><ul> <li id="tab-laptop" class="tab-active"><span class="product-text">A backup plan for a laptop </span></li> <li id="tab-desktop"><span class="product-text">A backup plan for a desktop PC s</span></li> </ul></div> </div></div> <div class="row-lgray row-section"><div class="section"> <div id="panel-laptop"> <p class="text"> <b>A backup plan for a laptop</b><br/> Laptops like these are used irregularly, so it's pretty hard to come up with a specific pattern for automatic data backups that would work for most home users. That's why backup tasks will be started manually. </p> <p class="text"> We'll use an external USB drive as the main place to store backup files. It will also protect against various ransomware. Since it's good to have several backups in different locations, we'll use a cloud service for replications. Cloud services are reliable, well-protected, and available from almost anywhere, plus they might be free for a limited amount of storage space (15 GB for Google Drive, for example). </p> <p class="text"> Taking all above into consideration we can now start creating our exemplary backup plan. </p> <ul class="green"> <li><b>Our system:</b> a laptop with a 128GB SSD, BitLocker protection is on, Windows 10 as its OS.</li> <li><b>Backup tasks:</b> Personal files backup: every time you're done using the computer.
