| Plug it in. Back it up. Yeah, it's that easy. | | | |
| Your time is valuable, just like the things you spend it on, like creating and saving data on your computer. So, losing your creations to an inevitable power loss or system failure seems like an unnecessary waste. Especially when backing up your data on a Crucial External SSD is so easy. You plug it in. You back it up. Then you get back to doing what you do best. | | | |

| | 3. Create multiple copies of your data. | | Having one primary copy, and two backups will prevent data loss from user error, damage to the storage device, or any localized threats to your information. With a wide variety of storage devices and cloud options, this triple redundancy is simple to achieve. | | | | | | |
| | 2. Keep your data on at least two different devices. | | This may seem obvious, but you never want to rely on a single device (or media type) for your important data. The reason? Double failure. Storing your data with the same type of media means that all of your backups face identical vulnerability issues. Whether through normal wear and tear or a quirk of manufacturing, that vulnerability is a serious problem for your backup strategy. | | | | | | |
| | 1. Store at least one copy of your data offsite. | | Now comes the “1” of the 3-2-1 plan: storing a copy of your data in a different location. This could be a cloud service or a physical media device in a different state or country. This eliminates the threat of localized data loss. | | | | | | |
| Backing up Data is Easy and Important | | | |
| Storing data digitally is fast, simple, and easy. Now, with the 3-2-1 backup rule, you can add a new adjective: secure. Having three copies of your files, on at least two different types of media, in more than one physical location will ensure that your files are safe against data loss. Backup your data now with a Crucial External SSD. | | | |
