Tip of the Week: The 3-2-1 Backup Rule

This week’s tip is the 3-2-1 Backup Rule. It’s a simple but powerful way to protect your data. Here’s how it works:

1. Keep 3 copies of your data.

2. Store it on 2 different types of storage media (like cloud and external drive).

3. Keep 1 copy offsite, so if something happens to your home or primary storage, you’re still covered.

Following this rule can save you a lot of headaches, especially if you’re backing up irreplaceable memories.
