Translations:Hoe maak je een back-up?/2/en

A back-up or reserve copy duplicates the information found on a data carrier or in an application. These copies are made preventively to safeguard and restore important information in case data on the original carrier becomes lost or damaged. The term ‘back-up’ is mostly used for data on computer hard drives, but information from other carriers – such as SIM cards, database management systems and even non-electronic sources like address books – can also be backed up.
