Abstract :
Being told to back up your data is, in the words of one IEEE Spectrum editor, "about as impactful as your dentist telling you to floss." Backing up is not exciting, and there are rarely short-term consequences for failing to do it. You know what, though? Teeth are more replaceable than your data. Back up your stuff. And if you\´re looking for a place to start, Western Digital has some ideas.
