Simple Automatic Backup

Quick Computer/Laptop Tip:

If your laptop has an SD card slot and you don't have a data backup system in place, you can use an SD card to set up an automatic backup of your Windows computer!
No clunky external hard drive is needed if you aren't storing a ton of stuff! 

  • Snag a compatible 128, 256, or 512GB Class 10 U3 V30 or better SD card off of Amazon
  • Pop that little chip into the card reader slot on your laptop.
  • Open up the "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)" system utility from the Windows Control Panel. 
  • Select the installed SD card as your backup destination and continue with, and complete, the backup configuration! 
  • Then just leave the SD card plugged in, and the computer will automatically backup to the installed SD as scheduled!

That's it! 🙌
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy; your data is now automatically backed up!
