Check Your Backups![]() It isn't enough to just setup a backup for your computer. You need to check your backups and make sure they are really backed up. The classic way to do this is to do a full restore. However, practically speaking, just looking at your backup and making sure your files are there is normally good enough. You want to check two things:
Are you backing up what you need to backup?A couple times a year you should review what is getting backed up and be sure there aren't other things that are needed that are not being backed up. Did you add a new program which stores its data somewhere odd? Review what is getting backed up and what is new and make sure everything is on the backup that needs to be.Is my stuff really getting backed up?
List Files to check:Here are some of the types of files to make sure are getting backed up. They may not all apply to you, but some will.
Doing these simple things regularly, will help prevent a big problem down the line when you need to get a new computer or your hard drive fails. Date: June 2014
