7. Your backup schedule depends on how often you change the original files Ask yourself how long will it take to recreate changes made to lost files For example let s say you start working intensively on a file at 9 am If you lose it due to a crash or power outage at noon you ll probably need three hours to restore the file if that s even possible To ensure that you don t lose such data you should regularly back up your files For critical data a backup of working files to external media or a network location every few hours is wise Then complete daily or weekly backups provide additional protection to cover all files whether you have worked on them or not Intego Backup Assistant and Intego Backup Manager Pro User s Manual Page 13 Again scheduling decisions will depend on the amount of space available on your destination device If you have plenty of space compared to the total size of your source files and are able to perform backups conveniently there s no reason not to do them every day Consider how long you Il want to keep archives of your backups A financial services company might be required by law to retain computer data for several years such a company would want to ensure that it always has a definitive copy of each file stored away in case auditors come around However it probably won t need to access those old files frequently or at all therefore it would probably store them in a compressed format to
