You should have a backup of all your data stored somewhere safe and separate from your everyday devices, such as an external hard drive or a remote server, to ensure that you can recover files in case of deletion or computer failure. A backup is just "an extra copy of data in case the original is lost or damaged". You can download archives of everything from your favorite web apps, including Google Docs, Spotify, Evernote, and social networks, on a schedule to create a true backup of everything. You can also use app integration tool Zapier to save copies of your Dropbox files to Google Drive, log form results to a spreadsheet as they come in, save notes from Evernote to OneNote, or add new contacts to your CRM and Google Contacts at the same time. Additionally, you should make a full backup of everything on your computer using a local backup method, such as Time Machine for Macs or Windows File History Backup for PCs, or an online backup service like Backblaze, Arq, Mozy, or Carbonite, which can save a copy of all your files automatically with no extra fuss.
