About People

  • 20% of folks NEVER back up (31% for folks 65 and older)

  • 20% of folks make backups monthly

  • 25% of folks back up on annual basis

Other Stats

  • 51% have had an internal or external hard drive crash.

  • 52% have lost access to their data.

  • 61% had a security incident (with 25% of those happening within the last year).

Making backups can be hard because it requires a small level of technical expertise and it can take time. You have to first know how to back up. Check out questions to the right.

  • Do you use a USB flash drive?

  • Do you back up to the cloud? Even with plenty of cloud solutions (e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive), most don’t back up.

  • How do you save documents to your hard drive?

  • How do you secure/encrypt your data?
