Anglian Internet News

Each week at Anglian Internet our workshop book in several data recovery jobs where people haven't backed up or made copies of their files, below are a few pointers about which folders to backup.


The most important files to backup are probably your documents, pictures, music, and other user files, but they are not the only files that you need to backup.


• Documents: You should backup your entire documents folder all the time. This is a must it contains documents, spreadsheets, powerpoint and lots of other important files.


• Music: If you’ve paid lots of money for MP3 downloads, you’ll probably be sad to lose them. Make sure to include this folder. Note: if you’re an iTunes user, you should make sure to backup your iTunes folder, which is thankfully usually inside this directory.


•Pictures & Videos: It’s really sad when we book jobs in our workshop with people saying their hard drive died and they may have lost all their pictures of their family. The photos might not have actually costed you anything, but you’ll probably be more sad about losing memories than paying for music downloads again.


• Desktop Email: If you’re using Outlook or Windows Live Mail, make absolutely certain that you’ve backed up the files from these applications. Outlook stores all your email in a .PST storage file.


• How can we help? We offer a wide range of portable flash drives and hard drives from as little as £6. We can get you up and running with our Cloud Backup system Rhinobackup which starts from only £25 per annum for 500GB of cloud storage.
