Millions of Americans own personal computers and use them for a wide range or purposes. Some people use their computer for playing games, some people use their computers for communicating with friends and family, some people use their computer for creating text, spreadsheet, or database documents, and some people use their computer for storing picture or video media. Most people use their computer for some combination of all of the things listed above and then some. Many people have been know to describe their personal computer as their “lifeline to the world” or perhaps they say, “I don’t know what I would do without my computer!” Obviously, people love their computers and the conveniences and joys a computer can add to their lives.

Ironically, the majority of home computer users do not back up their data. To back up computer data means a computer user is storing important, irreplaceable files (such as digital pictures or a Master’s thesis) on some type of external media so that if something catastrophic were to happen to the personal computer and the data on it were to become irretrievable, there would be a copy of this data elsewhere. Backing up data is not a difficult or an involved process, yet many people choose not to do it. People may think they need high priced or specialized equipment and this is a deterrent to backing up their data. Some people assume that nothing is ever going to happen to their computer, so why bother with backing up the data? Other people know they should back up their data, and may even have good intentions to do so, but it is not a priority and is just another thing on the to-do list that never seems to get done.

All excuses aside, backing up the data on your computer is a relatively easy and inexpensive procedure. And, performing regular data back ups can even save you a lot of time, energy, and frustration in the future. Think of all the photographs, videos, data documents such as email messages or school and work assignments, and music files alone you would use if something irreparable were to happen to your personal computer’s hard drive. Some of these files, such as digital photos and videos, are irreplaceable while other files, such as music files, are very costly to replace.

If you are unsure as to how to what equipment or media you need to back up your personal data, you could talk to a trusted friend or colleague (every office seems to have it’s revered “computer guru” who is probably more than happy to talk shop with you). Or, you could do some research on your own. The internet has a plethora of websites dedicated to various computer tips and tricks that could be useful in giving you information on how to back up your personal data. And do not worry about retrieving the data if the unthinkable is to happen to your personal computer. If you are unable to retrieve the data yourself there are many services available that can recover your data even in the event of a backup failure or hard drive crash.
