Over the past year, we’ve spent a lot of time on our digital devices and this will often have resulted in an increased volume of data and a need for additional storage. Data can mean important personal documents, that work project you have been working on over the last few weeks or even treasured photographs that capture important moments in your life. With data living everywhere, regular backups can be essential in protecting yourself from the loss of valuable files as well as in minimizing the damage that can be caused by malware that encrypts your data.
Many of us have found ourselves in that regrettable situation where we dropped a smartphone or spilled coffee on our laptop, leaving us with that nervous wait to find out if our device still works and has our saved data. At best it is an inconvenience and at worst lost data will require considerable time and effort to be recovered, if it is even possible.
With malware attacks increasing over the last year and more people online than ever before, backups have become even more important. As smartphones have become an essential tool in our lives it comes as no surprise that these devices are a prime target for criminals; leading to an increase in theft. If phones aren’t recovered and the data hasn’t been backed up, then every memory on that device is gone.
As the pace of digital growth and transformation is increasing, we rely heavily on the convenience, speed and efficiency of our digital devices to help us work, live and play. This requires greater awareness on not only about backing up our data but ensuring we use the best technology to help us do that.
Western Digital has built a trusted reputation among consumers and businesses alike with its range of storage options. As we become increasingly mobile, reliable portable external storage has become a necessity. You don’t have to know any of the technical details to become a boss of the backup because Western Digital makes backing up your work simple — so you can focus on living. Just plug, install and relax to begin saving the content you make every day, like pictures, videos and more.

You pick the drive that’s right for you, and Western Digital can handle the rest with a range of devices in a variety of sizes and capacities, so you can find the storage solution that suits your data needs.
