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?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Enable File History. Windows includes a built-in "File History" feature that automatically saves copies of your files. We strongly recommend turning it on.
