We all know that we need to create backups to protect data, but often we either can’t afford to purchase what is required for backups or don’t know how to conveniently make backups. The 3-2-1 backup rule is recognized as the minimum standard for data safety. It consists of having a minimum of three copies of data. Two onsite on separate storage media and one offsite. Below are listed as examples on how 3-2-1 can be done easily and ensure that music, content creation libraries, important files are kept protected.
