Notes by Staff Team
  1. This setup configuration does not have a backup plan. We strongly recommend to add a backup solution for your data so that you can restore it in the case of an emergency.
    Backing up allows the recovery of data that has been lost due of a malware attack (eg. ransomware) or a hard disk crash. In such events you might lose family photos, your music collection, documents, or financial data. Backups are fast and simple to perform so it should be done on a regular basis.

Hi, welcome and thanks for sharing:

* Network firewall: no firewall in router enabled?
* Periodic malware scanners: any 3rd party Second Opinion Scanner would be we welcome.
* File and Photo backup, at least, a copy to external device would be welcome, also You can use here a cloud service: DropBox, Google Drive, One Drive, Mega, etc.
* System recovery: a full system image backup solution would be welcome here: AOMEI, Macrium, Acronins, Hasleo, etc.

What about the other points?
I do not use malware scanners because i download only in popular website samples for music production. One a month i use backup from PC to smartphone via USB or make it a .zip file and uploaded in Google Drive and after preinstall (maybe one or two a year) i downloaded it again.

There are hundreds of 'Windows Security' solutions, which one are you referring to?

What kind of files do you backup to USB/Google Drive?

If they are documents and spreadsheets, switching to Google Docs can streamline the process, as there is no need to manually compress and upload.

Is that a 4G or 5G Hotspot connection?
