Following are three compelling reasons for making time to backup a device.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Protection from Theft<\/strong><br \/>\nSmartphones and other similar devices are stolen on a very regular basis. In fact, the FCC says that more than one million devices are swiped every single year. Losing your device is bad enough, but losing all your personal and work-related data on it as well can be devastating. Periodically backup your device in order to save yourself the time, hassle, and heartbreak of losing sentimental photos, phone numbers for important clients, and work-related projects you worked hard to complete.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/top-apps-transferring-files-wirelessly-phone\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read More: Top Apps for Transferring Files Wirelessly From Your Phone<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Protection from Upgrades<\/strong><br \/>\nUpgrading a device is a good idea; however, be aware that it can also cause you to lose important data. It is not uncommon for all personal data to be completely erased after the OS update. This is especially true for Android devices, but even iPhone device owners are advised to backup data before enabling an upgrade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Protection from Yourself<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s not just other people and programs you need to worry about. Many smartphone owners have lost or permanently damaged a device by dropping it in water, accidentally leaving it in a pants pocket and then throwing the pants in the washing machine, dropping the device on a hard surface, or leaving it in a child\u2019s reach. While in some cases you can retrieve some of your personal data even if the device no longer works, this is not always the case. It is always better to be safe than sorry, so backup your device to make sure you can get ahold of your files while your phone is being repaired or replaced.<\/p>\n<p>Those who want to protect important files will find that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/antivirus-acelerador-limpeza-android\/total\/\" target=\"_blank\">PSafe Total<\/a><\/strong> is perfect for the job. Backup your information, and then, in the event that your phone gets lost or stolen, use PSafe\u2019s anti-theft feature to wipe all of your data from your phone remotely. This will prevent thieves from accessing your information. PSafe Total also offers Applock, a system that allows you to add second passwords to important apps, adding extra protection if your phone is lost or stolen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Backing up a device can be time consuming.
