HOW TO PREVENT DATA LOSS

To prevent data loss, mobile professionals need to regularly backup important data from their devices. The first thing you need to do is to find the best method that suits your needs. Before you backup your data, make sure that it isn’t infected. Run a virus scan to check whether the data is corrupt.

Backup Methods Available

Software programs
Several software programs are available for data backup. There are both standalone software programs and those contained within operating systems. While many mobile workers opt for third party software programs, others prefer to use the backup software that comes with their operating systems.

Use an external storage device
You can easily drag and drop important data to an external hard drive or server that you have access to.

Disk cloning
Disk cloning is another popular backup method. In this method you copy an entire hard disk to an external storage device like CD, DVD, flash drive or second hard drive.

Email
This method isn’t very practicable when you have to back up large quantities of data. But it is very handy for backing up smaller files. An advantage of this method is that it requires only an access to internet. Now most email services offer large storage amounts, so this is a method you should definitely try.

As a mobile professional it is your duty to protect you data. Schedule backups on a regular basis and be sure to stick to that schedule.
