Lets face it – Laptops fail. They are often tossed around and take some abuse. Although I am sure everyone takes great care of their laptop… What happens when your laptop breaks? Are you able to access your data if this happens? What will you do if everything is lost? Unfortunately, we do not have access to the TARDIS just yet! So until we figure out the mysteries of time travel, let’s talk about backing up your laptop.
There are several methods you can use to backup your laptop, but we recommend using Apple’s builtin tool named Time Machine. With every laptop we issue you an external hard drive to backup using Time Machine. This is because Time Machine is the best tool for backing up all the data on your laptop including digital media like Photos, Movies, and Music. If you haven’t backed up in a while, take a minute this week to just plug in that backup drive. It can be while you are working on other important tasks. Perhaps go ahead and set a calendar reminder for every week or two? If you are new to Time Machine you can check out the video below.
