One of the best way to securely back up your computer files is to send copies to friends or family for safe storage. Storing your files with friends or family gives you peace of mind because you can be confident that your files are safe. Send large files and important files to friends or family and know that you will be able to access your back up copies no matter what happens to your own personal computer. It is important to back up your files in case your computer hard drive crashes, your computer is lost or stolen, or your files are lost in a fire or other accident.
To safely send your files to your friends or family you must do a secure file transfer. There are several easy ways to do a secure file transfer and if you have ever had to send photos by email you are already familiar with the easiest way. Email can send large files such as photos as well as smaller files like financial documents. It is safe and familiar to anyone who can use a computer.
Another easy way to a secure file transfer is by copying your files to a cd or usb stick and giving that to friends or family to hold for you. However, if you are able to send large files by email then that is the easiest way.
It is important to back up your files regularly. For instance, every time you take pictures you can send photos by email to your friends or family for safe storage. That way even if something happens to the files on your computer you always have access to backups.
