FAQ
Quick answers to the questions we hear most.
What is the 3-2-1 backup rule?
Keep 3 copies of your data, on 2 different kinds of storage, with 1 copy off-site. It protects you from device failure, theft and disasters.
Is syncing the same as backing up?
No. Syncing mirrors changes, including deletions, across devices. A backup keeps a separate copy you can restore from.
How often should I back up my phone?
Turn on automatic backups so it happens daily without you thinking about it, and check now and then that it still works.
Do you get paid for recommendations?
