Security is an important topic when it comes to technology. There are many different areas of security, so this category is divided into various sub-categories to help navigate through the posts on security.
I have talked about how I automatically backup my files from my server, but one thing I have discussed is how I backup my files from my Windows 10 desktop. Most of my important files are stored on my server, but I do have some data files, like game related files, that I would like to backup in case the hard drives in my desktop crash or begin causes data corruption in my files.
After I published my post where I test out the Web download option for restoring my photos from Backblaze, a regular reader of mine had sent me an email asking several questions about Backblaze. One of the questions was about what file types can be backed up with Backblaze.
I have been using Backblaze for many years and haven’t had any issues with backing up my files. The backup process from Backblaze has worked like a charm for me. I have integrated Backblaze into my process of automatically backing up my important files without any issues.
If you are like me, then you are always looking for ways to increase the security of your home network. Threats to your network, devices and to your files can come from anywhere online.

Even the strongest firewalls and encryption software in the world won’t be able to do anything if somebody was able to log in by guessing and inputting somebody’s credentials. Here are a few of the most embarrassing passwords that are so easy to crack that people shouldn’t have bothered setting them at all:
Cybersecurity is a growing threat, and hackers and cybercriminals are making their malware increasingly complex and difficult to detect. And unfortunately, many websites and companies are even having difficulty keeping track.

Protecting your data files with a good data backup plan is one of the most important tasks you can perform to keep your data safe from hard drive failure, malicious software, or just accidental file changes or deletions. For me, I have been talking about various data backup plans since I started this blog, and with over 600GB of personal photos and videos stored on an external hard drive, I also take data backup very seriously.
