Backup is one of the most important practices to ensure the security of data stored on a computer. This is a backup copy of files that can be used in case of data loss, whether due to technical problems, system failures, virus attacks or even user carelessness.

There are several ways to perform backups, from manually copying files to an external device, such as a pendrive or an external HD, to using specialized software that automates the process.

In addition, it is important to define a frequency for performing the backup, which may vary according to the amount and importance of the data stored. Ideally, this should be done regularly to avoid losing important information.

However, even with performing the backup, it is possible that problems occur that lead to data loss. In these cases, it is important to have file recovery tools.

These software are capable of searching and recovering files that were accidentally deleted, lost due to system failures or even in cases of hard disk formatting.
