I was, just now, quite surprised. I typed into the 'search' box for forums solely on 'back up', and put in numerous terms... 'computer back up, back up my computer, videos on 'how to' (back up my computer, back up programs, and plenty that might have pulled up more information and hopefully, tutorials. I basically got nothing. Found a forum by donetao, and no more.
Many, many forums and staff and just about everyone on MT suggests do a 'system restore' and back ups now, before a Crypto- infection or other infection... yet no tutorials.
As a novice, a barely basic beginner, I have stated here that I was lost before the word 'go'... and I am sure I am not the only one. If I had done that once or twice, it would be less daunting, and I would know how to, and would know how to answer some simple question a program is asking me, such as...'do you want to ...?include this or exclude that?.. but right now, I don't know.
Most of the articles I can find lose a beginner like me at first click.
Could MT allocate a forum to only backups? Find all back up programs, tutorials, information ...here?
Just a thought. I can go online and try to see what it is that is losing me or scaring me, or what I need to buy to have on hand to accomplish task... such as a ..??USB or ... ? thumb drive? or CD's or DVD's? or what is needed. Di I just send everything to a cloud? No...
Heard mirror images don't always work, and I know (as a raw beginner) that if there is a way to mess up the procedure- I'll find it!!!
Back up is so completely critical, yet if there was a poll or a survey, I bet so many 'basic' members or beginners haven't done it.
