Here are a number of the tips for treating your information better:

Imagine that if your PC is inflicted with malicious virus & beyond repairable, all your important files, such as photographs, eBooks & customer contact information etc., might be gone forever. By saving information to external storage devices, the chance of losing information saved on the external storage tool is less likely should there is hardware failure or virus attack.

1. Backup important information to external storage devices

2. Use of centralized repository

Save files that you need to share with your relatives members or colleagues to a Network Attached Storage (NAS). Files access can be done through network (wireless or wired), users no longer need to save files on their own computers, thus save memory space & ensure all users are reading the same information.

Modern NAS are not basically providing information storage space, they can be configured to become a FTP, web & database server etc. As long as there is Net connection available, user can remotely access their home FTP servers anytime, anywhere in the world. All information are at user's finger tips, users do not need to save sensitive or confidential information on flash drives, which might have higher risk of information leakage.

3. User of FTP server

How long would you take to reinstall & configure all application, such as Windows operating technique, MS Office, Outlook & Adobe Reader etc. on a new hard disk? few hours? whole day? days? Of work it depends on number of application to be installed, but one thing is positive that it is time consuming, uninteresting & non-productive to do the reinstallation. There's backup & recovery application available in the market for speedy restoration of the whole operating technique, applications, settings & personal files. The idea is that the application will generate a picture of your PC platform & save the picture file to storage media such as portable hard disk, NAS or DVD etc. The picture file can be used for later restoration. The beauty is that you won't have the hassle of digging out all login ID/password/serial numbers to configure/activate your operating technique & applications. Four times you kick off the restoration technique, the whole restoration could be done within an hour without your attention.
