Do you prefer auto backup or manual backup on your devices?

[Fidelia]

For our tech devices, we need to backup files to the cloud so that we don't get to lose them. For some people, they prefer that the backups on their devices be handled manually by their own prompt while others prefer auto backup which allows the system to backup within a specified period.

Do you prefer automatic backups or manual backups on your devices?

I usually do manual backup for files for better control , the webhosting companies are offering automatic backup of the files on their servers, though these backups may fail.

I don't like taking risks, so I do the automatic backup. It might be that the day you can't do your manual backup that the disaster would occur and you lose all your files.

I prefer both. I do manual backup and still use automatic backup. I believe through this means i cover all likely loopholes. To lose important files can disorganise our business and personal lives.

I prefer to do the automatic backups because they might be times I would be so carried away with activities and I forget to backup manually.

For my social media sites and the likes I would prefer an auto backup but for anything else I usually prefer them asking for my permission first.

WhatsApp often wants to run backup on my phone but I don't allow it to do automatically because there are useless files from groups that would be backed up automatically if I allow. I do it manually so I choose what to backup.

I do manual backup. Somehow I'm thinking to use Google Cloud to back up my data. It's better to observe which one serves us better.

For my laptop, I prefer manual backup so that I can detect the files that needs to be backed up. Laptop files are large. For my phone, it is automatic backups.

For sure l would prefer the manual backing up of my devices. I must know when the system needs to upgrade or do something on my devices.

The manual backup has its own pros and cons. Just that with manual backup, you might end up forgetting to back up before a loss of data incident happens.

Lately, I have been going for manual backups because I have realized that not all files are essential. I only save important data, applications, and other necessary files rather than backing up everything.

If you want to go for manual backups, you have to be diligent enough to ensure that it is done everyday without the fail.
