Making a Portable File Vault
To easily create a secure, portable backup of important files that can be carried in a pack, bag or pocket for emergency situations. This is the first half of our two step backup plan for emergencies and disasters, along with Creating a Remote Backup of Important Files.
For this lesson, we are standardizing on the 128GB Sandisk Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive. They are widely available, from Amazon.com to Walmart, inexpensive and have excellent build quality. If you already have a Sandisk drive, you are welcome to use it for this lesson, just make sure that you have the latest version of Sandisk’s SecureAccess software on it, as we’re going to be going over how to use this to protect your data from prying eyes. Access to a multifunction printer, scanner or smartphone camera is helpful for making good, clean digital copies of paper records.
Protecting your important personal data is much easier and less expensive if there is a plan in place before disaster strikes. Recovering data from a computer that has suffered fire or water damage is sometimes, but not always possible. However, this can require the expertise of a specialist and it is not uncommon for the bill to run in the thousands of dollars. Taking care to protect both digital and paper files in advance is less expensive and allows for quicker recovery after a disaster.
There are a few different factors to consider when planning a local data backup for disaster preparedness. First, it is important that this backup should be easily portable, so that is it easy to grab it and go,ur iayx=cd-ppryion:no and pais backup shoyy portabletant that thw foriffnt ld em.ver dryilso,etant that thneeds7;re goeiensi durcure,packhysict ld g care n be cdamaelpnnav-cportable,thw forand b0famae or wad expe toptron be cargency and disastereparnt ld,s.
