Back up your data (3-2-1 rule)
Three copies, two media, one off-site.
- Settings → Accounts → Windows Backup: enable folder backup to OneDrive if you wish.
- Plug in an external drive and use "File History" (Control Panel) for a versioned backup.
- For a manual mirror copy with robocopy:
robocopy "C:\Users\Moi\Documents" "D:\Backup\Documents" /MIR /R:2 /W:5
- Keep a copy away from home (encrypted cloud or a drive at a relative's).
- Regularly test restoring a file.
⚠️ /MIR deletes from the destination what no longer exists in the source. Double-check the source → destination order.
