Notes by Staff Team
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.
But not for everyone. Requires advanced user or occasional help from an advanced user (at least). Pros: strong security (in a home environment) + great system&software compatibility. Cons: software whitelisting can be too hard for the inexperienced users.
