I never tried having a back up on my desktop or even at my laptop. Is this a good advice?
Yes its really good, some time we lost our important data and then you need a software like this to recover the data. i think you should try this.
I also don’t use backup on my desktop but I liked your suggestion and yes, it is good to recover the data. Thanks!
You have to make sure you choose a good backup software and do this regularly so your files aren’t lost forever in a worst case scenario
While I backup via a cloud service I still back up using software on my desktop and laptop. I think it is best to have 2 backup plans if your data is important to you. I think one of the other things to look for in backup software is the speed. Some software can be incredibly slow to backup.

Backing up relieves from the fuss of having the solution under the data crisis situation. Important data always makes it count for it’s owner due to any reason, for which it became the most important data for it’s owner.
I never tried using backup software. Is it really good to use this kind of software? Is it safe?
Of-course these software are safe, unless they are the licensed one’s and secondly, if u securely keep the copy of your back-up file. There’s no guarantee if you loose the back-up file copy.

The main purpose of backup software is to store importance data and make it safe so, it’s most important to choose backup software from any trusted service provider. Cost-effective, designing and storage space are another factors which should consider before choosing Backup software.
