As a Mac computer repair tech and consultant. I am constantly amazed by the number of people who have not backed up their data. The reasons are endless, “I have been meaning to”, or “I don’t have one”, or “I don’t know how to backup”. Then the time comes when the hard drive finally becomes unreadable and fails. Data recovery is expensive and time consuming. While most Mac users have heard of Time Machine on the Mac for backing up, many have neglected to use it. Just about any external hard drive will work that connects via USB in the back of your Mac. When you plug it in, it happily asks if you would like to use this device as a backup. By clicking on yes, the data is copied from your MacBook, iMac or whatever to the external drive. It will continuously backup and add to the backup what you have added throughout the day. When the time comes recovering the lost file or entire drive is very easy. If you have any questions about Time Machine or would like to have someone install it. Call us!
