External Hard Drives

Using external hard drives requires backing up regularly to ensure your backup is current. First and foremost, with external hard drives you need to remember to back up! Not many people do, until it is too late.

Just like your computer hard drive, external hard drives are unpredictable and prone to failures and data loss. People usually store their external hard drive in the same place as their computer, so if anything happens such as fires, floods or other disasters, your external hard drive will likely be damaged too.
