World Backup Day 2021 | MacSources
Make sure you have a backup plan that works for you.
In the past 12 months, our world moved from a physical one into a digital plane. We all found ourselves confined to our homes and unable to return to the workplace until it was deemed ‘safe enough.’ This moment in human existence caused all employers to think ‘outside the box’ and find ways for their employees to retain their jobs while working from home. Because many of us were forced to use our personal equipment for this endeavor, it’s more important — now more than ever before — to emphasize World Backup Day as a time to backup your digital files.
March 31 is designated “World Backup Day” to help people remember to protect their digital documents. It’s the day before April Fools Day to help remind people to save their precious data and to “not be a fool.” The event originally began as ‘World Backup Month’ and was started by hard drive company Maxtor, which was later purchased by Seagate.

We’ve broken down some of the best options we’ve found for backups and outlined the features below.
