Dear Constant Reader,
Happy Friday! It’s the first tip of 2020!
If you want to keep it, back it up.
They say nothing ever goes away on the Internet, but that doesn’t mean you can always find what you want. Web sites vanish, periodicals cease publication, social media accounts are vulnerable to censorship. If you want to keep articles, photos, videos, &c., store it where you have some control over it.
Once your data is safely in your hands, get it backed up and regularly saved. Storage is really cheap these days! Whether you use a cloud-based service or a physical hard drive is up to you. I use both, depending on the situation, set up with automatic backups, so I don’t have to remember to take care of it. If something crashes, recovery will be so much easier!
