In today's episode, the iPheaks panelist Erica and Gui talk about backups. Why are backups important, how to maintain up-to-date local and off-site backups and backup service suggestions. Gui and Erica share examples and horror stories of neglecting to backup data. This is a great episode to learn about when, why and how to backup your devices and computers to cloud services, and best practice for categorizing your personal and business data for backup.

In particular, we dive pretty deep on:
