Bringing in the new year with a backup
Posted on December 31, 2022 at 23:33 CST by Susan Bradley • Comment in the ForumsAs the year 2022 closes give yourself a new year’s resolution to make a backup.
One that ensures that anytime you read about ransomware, hard drive loss or possible issues with a Windows or Apple patch you don’t worry about such things.
I personally use Macrium reflect and I ensure that it builds a “boot” menu so that I can easy get into the recovery process.

So have YOU rung in the new year by making sure your computer has been backed up?
What about restoring? Do you check if you can restore your computer?
