It's important you have a reliable backup strategy to prevent the risk of losing valuable data, ideally to the cloud and a managed backup solution as one of the most common issues encountered with home and business users is loss of information due to not having a backup solution or an inadequate backup solution.
The Three Steps To Planning Your Backup Strategy
Creating three or more data copies on different storage devices reduces the risk of perils typical for any such device.
Eg. Hardware failure can destroy the hard disk but not a cloud account or a network issue can stop transferring backup data online but not copying from the local disk, and so on.
Store your copies in at least 2 different types of storage media (local drive, network share (NAS) or cloud online storage).
If your primary backup is on an external portable hard drive, then make at least one other copy in a cloud service like Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive.
The last principle of 3-2-1 backup rule is keeping one or more backups off-site, i.e. not in the same room or building as the original.
Therefore, if the original and local copies will be physically destroyed (by the theft, fire or a natural disaster), at least one data copy will be saved.
