Send email to your yahoo, Gmail or hotmail mailbox with attachment of the files to be backup up. But note the limitation to file size.

Data Protection Method 1: CD or DVD backup

Using DVDR or CDR are the most common methods in data backup.
If you still don't have a CDR or DVDR, I urge you to buy one as soon as possible
After burning data to the dics, it is equally important to label the disc using marker.

Why data damage always happens

(1) accidental deletion of file
So Windows XP has a Recycle Bin on desktop

maybe harddisk is the weak link in data protection
(4) water or fire damage to hardware

what kind of data need protection?

  1. Digital photos
