Digital Home Thoughts: Backing up the Backups With Windows Home Server

"Using Windows Home Server to backup computers on your local network is a great tool for your backup strategy. But what about backing up the data on the server itself? Here we take a look at using an external drive to backup some of your important data."

Remember, always make a backup before you destroy anything. What? You thought that one backup was enough? How silly! You need backups of the backups! Actually, depending on how important your data is, it makes sense to have multiple backups of your data, with at least one copy offsite. How-To Geek shows you how Windows Home Server can backup the data that is on it so you can move it somewhere safe. Backups are a pain, but in the real world, anything can fail, and having an extra copy of your information (and lot more of our important information is digital) could save you an incredible amount of time, hassle, stress, money, and part of your eternal soul. And do not trust the safety of the cloud! Even with privacy issues aside, whether it is Apple, Google, Microsoft or your geeky friend who lives down the street, they are the ones that hold the keys to your data, not you. Take responsibility and own your data!
