If you use a computer, you should back-up. And we use the term computer loosely. Whether you have a desktop tower, a laptop, ultrabook, tablet or smartphone — you should be backing up your data on a regular basis.

If you use a computer, you should back-up. And we use the term computer loosely. Whether you have a desktop tower, a laptop, ultrabook, tablet or smartphone — you should be backing up your data on a regular basis.

The idea of backing up has evolved quite a bit in the past few years. Gone are the days when you'd push everything to a Zip disk and hope you didn't lose it. Today, you can choose from a multitude of cloud storage solutions, so that if you lose everything physically, you won't lose your backups.
