Hey guys, a small PSA here. Backing up your computer files is important!! It could save you a large headache in the long run.
Disclaimer: Everything I’m about to say is on Windows. I know nothing about Macs. To be honest, I don’t really want to.
Most computer issues (examples: Lag, slowdown, operating system crashing, software conflicts, viruses and other malware) can be solved by completely wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the Windows OS.
If you have those files on backup, it saves you the worry of having to attempt to salvage all your files on the spot if you desperately need to.
If you can, Cyber Monday is coming around here in a couple months, I believe. You can generally find 1-2 Terabyte (which is more than the average computer user needs, at the moment) portable hard drives for around 50 bucks on Cyber Monday. Pick one or two up.
Now, of course, having only one backup right next to your computer isn’t going to do much if, say, your house catches on fire. If you want to ensure you have your files, even if your computer should melt into a puddle of plastic, and your portable drive beside it, consider putting a second backup in a safety deposit box at a bank, swapping the two drives out every once in a while to ensure both are recent.
Of course, this is all hypocritical of me, because I haven’t bothered with a backup yet, but I plan to… At some point.
In any case, this is to everyone, but especially to artists, gifmakers, and roleplayers with tons of icons. Make sure you’re not fucked over if something should happen that makes you lose all your data, whether that should be a hard drive failure or some other misfortune.
