Backing up your work

Imagine your computer breaks down or gets lost tomorrow. Could you recreate all your drawings and symbols? How many hours of work would that cost you?

backup your files
  1. Organize your files. Keep your drawings in a well-structured folder hierarchy. Recovering scattered files from random folders is a nightmare you want to avoid.
  2. Use a USB stick. Copy all your drawings onto a USB stick and store it in a safe place. Do this regularly -- set a weekly calendar reminder so you don't forget.
  3. Use cloud storage. Keep your drawings in a folder synced with a service like Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive. This way you can access them from any PC, including Android devices. These services also let you restore older versions of your files.
  4. Enable File History. Windows includes a built-in "File History" feature that automatically saves copies of your files. We strongly recommend turning it on.
