Backup refers to the process of archiving of computer data
so that it can be used to restore the original after a data loss event Wikipedia.
Microsoft made it possible for window users to backup file and restores it when
there is data loss.
Backup is a sure way to have a
copy of files you so desire somewhere in case of eventuality or viral attack.
When you backup files in your computer, you are rest assured and relieved of
the early anxiety this might cause you before you think of file recovery software (uhh! Shit could you recover
this for me baby) since you already know the location of your backups all you
have to do is to go ahead and restore the file.
