do you have a backup of your files?

We bought an external drive to store those important files that we have. Just in case the computer crash, at least you have a back-up. No matter how reliable our PC is, it doesnt mean it will not crash at one time.

Yes, I do have a back up on my files. I have an external disk and all the files that I consider important, I have saved them on my external disk. Aside from that, I have back them up on a CD. So if ever, my laptop fails, and my external disk is damage, I still have one more option.

it is a must to have back up files. we are working with machines and mechanical gadgets. I just don't trust this things to last long.

Yeah, i have an external hard drive and all of my important files, document, pictures, song and videos are save on it. Since even the back up disk in my computer built inside is not reliable i decide to have an external hard drive to save all of my collection in case some glitch happen so it may be good i have back up copy for future uses and references.

Yes, fortunately for me I have a somewhat obsessive-neurotic brother who nags me to back up my files (probably because he's the one who has to rescue them), and so to keep him quiet, I back-up my files, including the ones in my smartphone. I use the camera function a lot, so I back them up when I can.

I use an external hard drive. I set it to backup the files I want to save on a regular basis. You can partition your hard drive and use one for backup but in that case you will still lose everything if there is physical damage to your hard drive. An electrical problem could destroy all the partitions. If you are going to copy files to a disk, get a DVD drive. Never mind CDs; they will not hold much. You can copy a ton of stuff to a single DVD.

Yes, I have a backup of all my files in case my laptop might be infected by virus. The files stored in my laptop are all precious ones. Some are materials related to my work and some are photos of my family. I experienced computer breaking down only once. That was when I was in college and there was a very horrible virus spread on the internet. I thought I was careful enough, but it turned out that all the four hard disks were infected by virus and all the files had to be deleted. What's worse, my term paper was deleted too and I had to write again, which really took a long time. You can imagine how angry I was. Ever since then, I made a backup of all my files .

Not only I've a backup of my whole disk, but I'm running virtual computers. It means if something wrong happens to the main computer, I can move my virtual computers to another one just in minutes, without any job loss ;)

I know very well how unstable computers can be, so I always keep one or two backups of all my files. Hard drives have a defined life, and it seems to be different for each one, so you can really never know when it comes to computer science related things . I recommend everyone to always keep a backup of their files.

I'm generally prety good of making sure I have a back up of any files that I might use or need. Having something ready is always good in case. I have all my stuff either uploaded somewhere or on a portable memory card. When this one fills up I'll buy a new one. They are fairly cheep and 2 gb isn't half bad.

Yes, I do have a backup in my external hard disk as I am afraid of such situations especially if my pc is down completely, I don't want stuffs that I have created over the years to go down just like that. Seeing some of my friends who lost their stuffs completely because they didn't backup, I find it so upsetting if I placed myself in their shoes. Thus, it's good to backup your files once in a blue moon but definitely not everyday.

Well..i need to save my files and i always do backup. Though i have all anti virus stuffs, still i have problem with virus. So on safer side, i take back up. I sometimes copy them on my work cds, thumbdrives..so i can carry them and thats the best way in case of any problem with my system.

Backup files on any computer is a must, if you intend to keep those files for important moments, then create backups won't be a bad idea. I have a My Book external hard drive, its 1TB storage is plenty for the time being. I save all my movies and musics on there, as well as important documents. It actually saved my back one time, a while ago my desktop got eaten up by a virus that couldn't be killed, therefore restore is the only choice. Most of the files will becoming unusable after the fix, so I have to transport them from the external drive once the work is complete. Thanks to the backup everything is back to normal, and I'll keep backingup files, in case something like this happens again. Backup files won't hurt you a bit, and it might save your back one day.

I have a backup of course. it is important if the computer crushes somehow or gets a virus. Best on save your backup on another computer, flash drive or cd's :)

I realise how important it can be to back up files but i tend not to and i don't really know why. Ive never really lost any important files tbefore so one day i might and that will be a lesson to me to start backing up. I now have a 250 gb external hard drive so i may start :)
