Hey,
I have a couple of GBs of data on my PC’s internal hard drive that I regularly work on that are important to me and I would like to have a recent backup of them. For now I don’t want to use a cloud backup solution and I want to have them backed up to an external HDD/SSD that I will keep on my desk. These are the main reasons I want to protect my data:
- Accidental deletion through something like unintended Shift + Del
- Accidental deletion through something like unintended formatting of that hard drive
- If I work on a document and delete some information inside it and then I accidentally save it I would like to restore a previous version
- My hard drives are not the newest so if they fail I want to make sure I have a backup of my most important stuff
- Pipe breaks, minor floods etc.
I don’t need to backup my whole HDD only a few folders that contain the business data. I am thinking that it’s probably a good idea to have two different versions of each document for example a recent backup (since last close or something like that) and a week-old one in case I want to restore something that I deleted previously.
Can you tell me how can I set all this up please?
Thanks.
