Protect Against Malware
I talked a little about backups in my last post and that primarily dealt with personal computers. Increasingly more people are using portable devices, such as tablets and phones, to store valuable information. However, many people never think about protecting these ‘mini computers’ or backing them up. It is predicted that this year there will be an explosion of malware exploits on mobile devices. So it is important to get malware/virus protection for these devices as well.
Additionally, you need to backup these devices also, ideally to your computer. Most people do not even think about backing up a cell phone. Phones are replacing portable cameras, important documents are stored , contact information, and all your apps. Phones are often dropped, stolen, or replaced and having a backup of that information can get you up and running much sooner.
