Backing Up Data

Why backing up matters: Learn from past incidents

In August 2024, hundreds of students across several MOE schools lost access to their iPads for at least a day due to a Mobile Guardian app glitch. Students reported losing saved notes, being unable to access classroom materials, and some even missed weighted assessments. Those sitting for O-level preliminary examinations were particularly affected. This incident highlights why regular data backups are essential – technical issues can happen unexpectedly and affect your learning. By backing up your work regularly to OneDrive and Google Drive, you protect yourself from losing important notes, assignments, and study materials.
