Backing up your data regularly should be at the top of every Mac user’s to-do list (and that goes for Windows users too). Don’t put it off, tomorrow could be too late.
Awesome FREE Mac Apps You're Not Using!
If you’re not currently using a backup app, try one of these Mac backup apps . You’ll feel a lot better knowing that if anything were to happen to your Mac’s storage system, you can quickly retrieve all of your lost data and get right back to work.
Time Machine, included with OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and later, is the backup app of choice for many Mac users. And why not; it’s easy to set up and easy to use. It’s also easy to forget.
Once you’ve set it up, you can go about your daily business without having to think twice about backing up. Time Machine handles everything for you, automatically. Time Machine also works with OS X’s Migration Assistant, making it an effective choice for moving data to a new Mac and performing backups.
