You get 2 GB free and can up that to 1 TB for $99 per year. OneDrive has 5 GB of free space and with your Microsoft account, anything you save to your OneDrive folder gets synchronized to the Cloud. There are many cloud storage websites that allow you, either for free or for a monthly fee, to upload anything to their cloud. Many have been using USB flash drives to save their important data like tax forms and important letters, but this is only as good as the last time you remembered to update the flash drive. Now we have USB flash drives instead of diskettes.
And we would also use that diskette as a backup as well. That is copying files to a diskette and running with sneakers on to another computer to copy the files from the diskette to its hard drive. Years ago we moved data from one computer to another using a “ sneaker net“. So, if you have an issue with either the hard drive or simply a corrupted file, you have no way to get it back. However, anything you have changed since the image was created is not anywhere except on your hard drive. You can also mount the image to locate individual data files and restore them. The computer works just the way it did on the day the image was made. Using that image, a crashed hard drive can be replaced and the image can be used to restore everything to the new hard drive.
It copies the entire contents of the hard disk to a single compressed file on an external hard drive. Macrium Reflect is one program that I use to make an image backup of my computers. I talk a lot about the importance of doing backups on a regular basis.
