Missing Backups
The most terrible things happen unexpectedly: the disk breaks, malware encrypts data, or just one wrong click can destroy your work. Without backups, you find yourself in the epicenter of digital problems. The solution is very simple: connect an external drive and set up daily or weekly backups via 'File History' or 'Backup and Restore' in Windows. Save your documents and photos to the cloud. Automate this process and periodically ensure that the backup can be successfully restored.
Loss of BitLocker Recovery Key
BitLocker turns your drive into a safe that is inaccessible to outsiders. However, if you lose the recovery key, you won't be able to access your data either. After activating encryption, be sure to save this key in your Microsoft account, or print it or write it down in a safe place — but not on the same PC. To check the status of encryption, use the search in Windows: 'Manage BitLocker'.
The news discusses common mistakes made by Windows users that can lead to significant problems. In particular, it addresses the issues of missing backups and loss of the BitLocker recovery key, as well as offers advice on how to avoid these pitfalls.
