Data Doctor Ken Colburn explains the top five mistakes people make when backing up their data.

1. Buying an external hard drive w/out backup software
2. Installing backup software, but not setting the scheduler
3. Not verifying your backup
4. Only having 1 copy of your data (no incremental backups)
5. No offsite backup set

We’re glad to see Colburn included online backups in the top backup mistakes. He describes them as “easy to use” and “inexpensive”.
