Information has always been important. And the point is not even in the extensive definition of information as a word, it is about the information that is the fruit of our endless searches on the Internet or the result of our hard work. In order not to lose and preserve information that is of significant value to us, it is necessary to combine several methods of preserving it to ensure maximum reliability.
Necessary
- - computer
- - the Internet
- - CD / DVD discs
- - removable storage medium
Instructions
Step 1
Save information on your computer's hard drive. If this information is confidential, remember that just a hidden folder is often not enough. Archive such information in an archive with a multi-valued password to prevent accidental or deliberate access.
Step 2
Burn information to CDs and DVDs. Computers have a tendency to break down sometimes, and this is fraught with the loss of all the information that they contain. After recording on a disc, handle it with care - store it in a special case or in a disc box.
Step 3
Use removable storage media such as external hard drives and high-capacity flash cards. These devices support limited access, that is, you can put a password on them that will prevent other people from accessing. But it is advisable to install an additional security measure, similar to the case with storage on a computer.
Step 4
Use online document storage services. Please note that when using services such as Google Docs, you should archive all information and set a password before uploading files to the server. This method is considered the most reliable compared to storing files on physical media.
