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.
