How To Backup your Data


The data on your hard drive is the most critical items in your computer, and the only item that can not be replaced.You can replace a defective memory module, monitor, or processor, but no data can be replaced when lost. 
In addition to the possibility of a failure on the hard drive, the threat of Internet worms, and much viruses have become increasing risk to make your data loss or corrupt. Although you will not be able to provide absolute protection to your hard drive, there are many roads that you can ensure that the data on your hard drive and terbackup protected. Here is two of many methods how to backup your data ... 

1. USB Flash Drives 
Although I do not recommend that Flash Disk storage is used for the real data, they are a fun tool that will transfer data from computer to the other. Important files can be quickly filled to a tool such as MINIDISK-512-DGRY-CS USB 2.0 Flash Drive, and easily moved to another computer. Installation and operation is very simple. To use a USB Flash Disk just plugin to available USB port on your computer. Approximately on every computer nowadays has a USB port already, with more modern systems supporting USB 2.0 as standard. Speed USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480 MB / s, this is an extraordinary innovation that the speed limit on the USB of the original 12 MB / s, and allows a user to fill them with data drives a relatively short time. 
Although the store Flash Disk capacity is increased compared to last year, users are still limited in size-the size of the 512MB until 4GB as I know. A lot of storage is really not an option, but even 512MB can be enough to backup your "My Document" folder, a few albums of MP3s, or files that are important to the other stored in other places. 

2. CD and DVD Writers / Re-Writers 
Cheap price from a CD-RW and DVD have made them a key material in each of the modern computer. This equipment is generally found on the computer casing, but the tools that support an external USB 2.0 or Firewire more available for greater flexibility and for easy installation. 
A combination drive, such as the NU Technology DBW-521, the user will provide a CD reader / writer with a high rate, as well as a DVD readers, for under $ 40. Very cheap from the drive and the blank media to become a tool that can save your data backup, and re-writable media to increase comfort with the leave of the same disk to be deleted and re-used many times. CD writer is generally limited to a capacity of 700MB per disk. It was not enough for a full backup, only enough for archiving files. 
Nowadays the prices of DVD writers / re-writers become cheap. DVD media can add users to store far more capacity than a CD, and DVD Burner can generally be able to burn a CD, also the same as DVD. The availability of the latest dual layer DVD Burner, such as the Sony DW-D22A-DO-N, showed a large increase in the capacity of the DVD Write / Rewrite, taking the previous limit of 4.7GB per disc and nearly double it to 8.5GB. 
With the right storage, CD / DVD media can provide long-term storage to your data. CD or DVD can easily be read on any computer, making it a good choice for backup your data.
