"Always be prepared for unexpected future." It also applies to files and folders security issue. With the fast development of technology and wide use of computers, data loss caused by system malfunctions, disk failures, virus attacks or misoperations becomes increasingly common. Your important files including email, music, photos, videos, documents, personal settings, bookmarks, and applications are always in danger unless you take effective precautions.
"Do not put all eggs in one basket." Therefore, you should make a backup of important files, and save the image file to other places in case of unexpected data loss. Thus when accident actually happens, you can simply restore the data you want from a previous backup.
To simplify the backup process for files and folders, you need the best free file backup software - AOMEI Backupper Standard. In addition to File Backup feature, it also offers the File Sync feature to help you sync any local folders to OneDrive or other locations.
