Backing up data regularly is an important part of computer maintenance. Online or 'cloud' storage services such as OneDrive simplify data backup for productivity tasks, but for media, sensitive information, and other large data a formal backup solution may be required. See the options below for more information and to choose a backup solution that is right for you.

File History

File History is an application that is integrated into Windows 11 and Windows 10 that allows you to back up files from your computer. The backup can be stored on an external hard drive or on a storage device on a network.

Users with high-density content types should consider regular backups to an external source:

  • Music
  • Videos
  • Large photo libraries

  • Content regularly stored in the My Documents folder in Windows.
