Here is the truth! Your data* can be permanently lost if your computer is stolen, has a hardware failure, or even drops on the floor. Â
What you need to back up data:
- Your laptop
- A backup destination: Â
- Blank DVD’s
- An external hard drive (like pictured)
- An account with an online storage provider (for example: Dropbox - check it out!)

Tips to follow:
