How to Back Up Your Computer - Explained in Plain English (Computer Basics)

This book explains in accessible, non-technical terms how to back up your computer and why it is so incredibly important that you do so -- and do so the right way.

Failing to create a regular backup of your files is a recipe for disaster when computer problems inevitably arise. These days with our lives and jobs revolving around computers more than ever, one of the most important things anyone can do to stay safe is back up. Personal files from photos, to emails, to tax documents can be lost if you don't take the right steps, and it's even more critical for businesses to do given the high percentage of companies that go under after a major data loss.

Avoid the expense and embarrassment of lost files and more by following these simple computer tips and tech advice from leading Plain English computer and technology educator Worth Godwin.

Worth has been bringing plain English simplicity to this complex modern world for over a decade and a half, reaching students across the US and in dozens of countries worldwide.

This book begins with the personal story of how Worth nearly lost everything when his first PC broke down years ago and what lessons he learned from it. From there, we break down and explain simply the pros and cons of various methods of backing up your files and move on to a simple strategy anyone can follow. Ending with a computer question & answer section reinforcing the earlier lessons and answering questions that are often asked about the topic of backups.

Simple tips and advice you'll understand even if you lack computer skills and barely know how to turn the thing on. Written in an easy, informal style that will just make sense.
