Document Summary

Backing up data: recovery of deleted files, securely deleting files, backing up your data. When you delete a file: it goes to the recycling bin, a temporary location you can retrieve later if needed. When you empty the recycling bin, the files that were in there weren"t necessarily there. When a digital file is deleted, it is sometimes still there. That can be a good thing if you accidentally delete something you needed. Install undelete programs before you need them, installing it after might overwrite the files you are trying to recover. Test recovering an unimportant file so that you are prepared for an important one. Cloud storage: icloud (mac os), onedrive (windows), dropbox (cross-platform) Removable drive: flash drive, external hard drive. Compress in an archive to save storage space. Basic backup functionality built-in to most oses. Can be used to recover entire system, not just data. Can be restored to a new or upgraded system.
