Computer Backup

Should I backup my computer? How?

Although backing up your computer isn't strictly necessary, it is very wise. Backing up your computer will protect you if your computer fails or is destroyed.

Please back up your work computer. Files and folders can be dragged and dropped into Box easily.

Box can be accessed through a web browser or with the app which is installed on BYU computers. When the app is used one can also see Box storage in the computer's file system. With this, when a file is created it can be saved to Box instead of the local device. As for files and folders which already exist, they can be transferred by simply dragging and dropping or by selecting "+ New" in the browser, and then "New folder" or " New file" accordingly. It's recommended that files be saved to Box drives instead of local machines.
