Backing up your stuff is more important than ever in 2016, but surprisingly few people take it seriously. They're either in denial, under the illusion that their laptop will never break, or else they think it's too difficult and do nothing for that reason.

We'll explain a few ways you can easily back up your most important stuff without lifting a finger, as well as the best strategy which will ensure you will always have a copy of a file in the event of a disaster.

If you lose it or break it, you might also lose forever the photo, contacts and other files on it.
