在何处存储备份

You should store backup copies of your files somewhere separate from your computer — on an external hard disk, for example. That way, if the computer breaks, or is lost or is stolen, the backup will still be intact. For maximum security, you shouldn’t keep the backup in the same building as your computer. If there is a fire or theft, both copies of the data could be lost if they are kept together.

选择一种适当的备份介质也很重要。您需要将备份存储在具有足够磁盘容量存放所有备份文件的设备上。

本地和远程存储选项

  • U盘(容量较小)

  • 内置硬盘(容量较大)

  • 外置硬盘驱动器(容量通常较大)

  • 网络驱动器(容量较大)

  • 文件/备份服务器(容量较大)

  • 可擦写 CD 或 DVD 光盘(低/中等容量)

  • Online backup service (Amazon S3, for example; capacity depends on price)

其中的一些选项具有足够的容量,可以备份您系统上的所有文件,因此也被称为完整系统备份
