There are those of us who
don't really believe we'll ever lose anything important from your computer,
smartphone, or tablet, and people of us who have suffered losing but never
learned better from this. And then there's a third group, those who diligently
back up all their documents, music, videos, emails, contacts, calendar entries,
apps, and settings. If you are reading this article, I assume you're in the
first or second group, and now we unanimously share a secret hatred of group
number 3, fueled by a little self-loathing.
Individuals who don't back up their data usually think it is a huge task. They think it requires too long. They don't know how. And they are right. If you know nothing about backups, it requires time to learn what's what.
The objective of this article-and the previous one in the Get Organized series, "Backup Your Most significant Data"-is to make backing up manageable. Instead of making you feel overwhelmed, I'll provide you with a list of steps you can follow within five to ten minutes to support your Android smartphone or tablet, and iPhone or iPad. And granted, copying a 'droid takes more time and energy (sorry, Apple haters, but it's true!).
You will find links to each set of instructions at the very top right of this page, or click through all the pages by using the "next" links at the bottom. Make use of the "print" feature at the top of the article to place all the pages onto one.
Lastly, if you're able to spare the time to learn more to do with backing up a computer, I recommend Eric Griffith's thorough piece "The Beginner's Help guide to PC Backup." It explains in much greater detail the advantages and disadvantages of different types of backup options, lists the fundamental how-to steps, and names recommended backup goods and service providers.
