We also have some tips to help you make a back-up of all your files.
You can always opt for an external backup. This can be done via a USB stick or an external hard disk. By putting the USB stick in the USB port of your computer, you can use the USB. Select everything you want to save on the USB, in this way you have easily made a back-up of a number of documents. Keep in mind, however, that a USB stick cannot hold that many documents. For a complete backup of your computer, it is better to choose another option. An external hard disk works the same way, but has more memory on it.
Backing up with Time Machine, this only applies to a Mac. Time Machine allows you to back up your Mac several times a day. This prevents you from losing documents or other files quickly. Use the following steps to create the backup:
