Many people have a general idea of backing up files, or have at least heard about it, but think that it's something reserved for major corporations and big-time businesses. While it's crucial that these companies have their files backed up, it's also just as important for the individual. What would happen if a virus attacked your computer right now? Or if your hard drive completely crashed and you lost everything? How would you ever recover all of those picture and video files, or your own financial documents and record keeping? It's true; file backup is just as important for the individual as it is for major corporations. And because it's your personal life and personal files that you're talking about, maybe even more so.
