Backing Up Other Data


Listen Later

We’ve talked about how to backup your local device data and how to back up data that is primarily stored in the cloud. But there’s a lot of important, irreplaceable data we take for granted: data owned by others. This might be shared online photo albums, cloud document collaborations, eBooks and other digital media, and even websites you frequently rely on. Today we’ll talk about how you can make local copies of these files in case they should ever go offline.
