I solemnly swear that I am up to no good. Wait, no, that’s for something else…. Here we go! The actual pledge is, “I solemnly swear to back up my important documents and precious memories on March 31.” That is the pledge for World Backup Day (www.worldbackupday.com), an organization whose goal is to make sure your personal data is safe. It is a noble mission, and B&H would like to do our part to spread the message and help provide some resources so you can start backing up.

What Would You Do If You Lost Everything?
It’s a chilling question, and hopefully something most of you haven’t had to deal with, but it is important to think about. If you lost your phone, or your laptop, or a hard drive, would you be able to get back all your family photos, important schoolwork, or once-in-a-lifetime videos? If you perform proper backups, then you should feel a lot better in your day-to-day life. A laptop that won’t boot up will be a headache, but it won’t cost you anything more than time and, potentially, money.
We support the initiative of World Backup Day, especially once you consider some of its stats. Reportedly, 30% of you have never backed up anything, one in every ten computers is infected with a virus each month, and 113 phones are lost or stolen every minute. Also, consider that 29% of disasters are caused by accident, so you might not have any control over whether you lose data. It’s more than just keeping your devices safe. That new Microsoft Surface Pro X you just picked up might be lightweight and super portable, but keep in mind that constant travel will make it more susceptible to drops and other hazards. And even if you only use your Acer ConceptD 9 2-in-1 Laptop on your desk, it could still suffer from an incidental water spill. You really don’t want to lose your precious data from a random accident.
