    There is nothing more important, in a vulnerable moment like this than protecting our data with adequate and cutting-edge systems, which know how to evolve as hacker attacks evolve! It is essential for companies to get culture on this aspect that should not be underestimated and consider backup a fundamental tool to be used every day, also because the costs to be faced after an attack are really onerous!

    Thank you so much Dave for such a clear explanation . Yours is the clearest video of them all! I find backing up so difficult and confusing and I always forget how to do it.... I just lost 4 years of photos and videos as my hard drive broke completely just recently and i forgot to save all my photos.....trying not to think about it. But now I have it ALL written down so i will print it out and follow it every time. ( The only thing I was surprised about was that you have to copy and paste all your files into the cloud folder - I though that it picked it all up automatically or by confirmation.) Anyway, thanks you're a star!x

    I back up on my Window 10 laptop on Google Drive (clouds) and back up manually on old Window 7 setting on my upgraded Window 10. I found you video very helpful. This is all new to me. I have learnt the hard way. I think l was born too soon.
