Always make a cloud backup.


  • External driver are a good place to save your stuff. But you do not always have it with you. What if there is a fire or a break in.. I always have a cloned copy of the external hard drive online. In the cloud.
Do this:
  1. Get Google Drive or use one you have. Microsoft is giving away 25 GB of free.
    Google drive: http://www.google.com/drive/download/
    One Drive: https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/download/
  2. Open notepad and put this text in it: (See Image)
    Text: Link to text
    Download: Link to file
  3. Make sure the External drive path and the cloud path is right.
  4. Save it on your external drive and with the filename "Cloud Backup.bat".
  5. Open a file explorer window. (Hold Windows Key and press E)
  6. Find your auto start folder:
