Is there a good chance you\u2019ll be under a little stress during this upcoming holiday season? Perhaps you already have a little stress in your life. How much would a hard drive crash or virus infection add to your normal anxiety?<\/p>\n

There are some simple steps you can take to prevent the trauma of losing all your precious photos, music, financial data etc\u2026 As a security professional I\u2019ll share a secret<\/a> with you. There is no AV software or anti-malware technique which is 100% fool proof.  Anyone can get infected and have their computer compromised. It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re using a Mac, Windows or even a virtual machine, there are no guarantees.<\/p>\n

My number one tip for keeping your data safe hasn\u2019t changed since you purchased your first computer. In a single word, BACKUP<\/strong>! It\u2019s not unusual to hear that people have formatted their computer or even purchased an entirely new computer after getting infected by malware.<\/p>\n

Do you have a regular backup procedure for your computer?  If not, stop reading this and create a backup plan that will save your critical data and prevent you from having a nervous breakdown. You\u2019re going to have enough crap to deal with over the next month don\u2019t let your computer become one of your concerns.<\/p>\n

My recommendation isn\u2019t necessarily the cheapest but it\u2019s reliable and less expensive than any data recovery service. It could also save your sanity.<\/p>\n
