Backing up your work is important for the following reasons:
1) Never worrying that your computer might get a virus and you could lose everything (leading to reduced stress and anxiety).
2) Never ACTUALLY getting a virus on your computer and losing everything (leading to a crisis).
3) Syncing your work in a couple different places enables you to work from a few different locations.
Some of the best ways to back up your work include:
1) Using a portable flash drive. These little guys can easily fit in your pocket and are super handy if you need to work from various locations.
2) Using an online platform such as Dropbox. This enables you to access your work from anywhere as long as you have an Internet connection, and is excellent for sharing with other users.
3) Using an external hard drive. This is perfect when you have a lot of large files.
