Protect Your Digital Memories Today

There are so much talk about hackers and identity protection and all the things you need to do to protect yourself and build a system to keep your digital information safe, but what about your digital memories? We put in a lot of time and energy to keep our personal information guarded in a fortress of passwords ~ with good reason too ~ but seem to forget to back up our pictures and videos.

You know what I'm talking about, those priceless photos of your children, grandchildren, vacations...times spent with the people you love. Have you backed them up or have you been putting it off? Take a moment now to grab a USB stick, save them on the cloud, or do whatever you need to do to make sure you do not loose them. Also, do not forget to move those memorable, valuable, and irreplaceable files over too.

How do you decide what is important to save and what can be discarded? To know what you should save, ask yourself:

  • Would you care if this was deleted tomorrow?
  • Would you care if you had no record of this in 10 years?
  • How replaceable is the data?

Gain further information and tips here and remember to protect your memories now before something happens and it is too late.
