Data backup and recovery covers the methods and tools you can use to protect your files, photos, and documents from loss. Whether you're backing up to an external hard drive, using cloud storage, or relying on your device's built-in backup features, these systems create copies of your data so you can restore it if something goes wrong—a device fails, files get deleted by accident, or malware damages your system.

The articles here explore different backup approaches, explain how recovery works when you need to restore files, and help you understand the trade-offs between local storage, cloud services, and hybrid setups. You'll learn what backup options exist for phones, computers, and external devices, and how to choose a strategy that matches your needs and budget.
