  This page is mainly RED to identify the danger of NOT heeding the ADVICE  
  Backing up your data is an essential task on your computer. The type of backup and frequency of backup is a personal choice. However I would RECOMEND a daily backup, a weekly and a monthly backup.
  
  The reason why I suggest the above routine is based on many years of experience.

 
  Daily backups are essential to ensure that you have a copy of the last 24 hours input,  
  Weekly backups are essential occasionally a file becomes corrupt and each day you backup the corrupt file overwrittin you last good copy  
  Monthly backups ensure that files accessed on a monthly basis have a copy in case a file becomes corrupt and each dayor week you have backuped the corrupt file and overwrittin you last good copy  
  Photos music collections etc should be stored in TWO places
One on CD/DVD and also on your computer. You can always recreate a document or a spreadsheet but you can never recover a photograph of an event		  
  I use a backup system which is off site via the internet.
For those with BT as their internet provider ther is Digital Vault and you should use it
For those with other ISPs I suggest Idrive
Contact me for details		  
My final word on backup is that you make frequent checks that what you want backed up is backed up and that you know how to recover a file/files
I had a client who insisted that they backed up every day. When I CHECKED the logs their backup had failed for the previous 6 months
