    Keep 1 copy on an offsite storage. This means keeping at least one backup in a different place,
                        like online storage or a different location, to protect against things like fire or theft.

                     This rule helps make sure you don’t lose your important files, even if something happens to your
                     computer.

                     Data Backup Methods

                     Many companies, such as Apple, Samsung and Xiaomi,
                     offer inbuilt backup features in their mobile phones. One
                     way  to ensure your  files are  always  safe  is  by  turning
                     ON Backup & Sync on your laptop or mobile device. This

                     automatically saves your files to the cloud. Even if your
                     device crashes, gets a virus or is lost, your data remains
                     secure online.

                     Backing up to the cloud has additional benefits:
                         Access anytime, anywhere: Files backed up to the cloud
                        can be accessed on any device by simply signing in. This
                        means you can continue your work at school even if your

                        laptop is at home.
                         Real-time updates: As soon as you make changes to

                        a file, the cloud updates it automatically, so you don’t
                        have to manually save or copy files.
                         Easy  collaboration: With  backups  enabled, sharing
                        files  with  classmates  and  teachers  is  easy,  ensuring
                        you’re always working with the latest version.

                     Check if Backup & Sync is enabled on your laptop. If it’s not, go to your settings and turn on the sync feature
                     to automatically back up your files to the cloud.
