Make your backup today!

You've spent hours working on the perfect 3D print file - optimised, sliced, prepared perfectly for printing - and then bang! Your PC or storage medium breaks down. Without a backup? Game over. That's exactly what World Backup Day on 31 March is for: a friendly reminder that your data should be at least as well backed up as your favourite filament in a dry box container!

So, everyone, loud and clear:

"I solemnly swear to make a backup of my important documents and precious memories on 31 March. I will also tell my friends and family about World Backup Day - friends don't leave friends without a backup."

And with that, you've sworn the official World Backup Oath - from now on, there's no turning back! Off to the hard drive, the cloud or wherever... The main thing is to back up!

Why backups are so important, especially for 3D makers

We all know it: technology is sometimes a diva. One wrong click, a power failure or a faulty USB stick - and your STL files, G-code settings or elaborately created models are lost forever. To prevent this from happening, a backup is your saviour!

The best methods for data backup

A good backup strategy is worth its weight in gold. Here are some tried and tested methods:

• External hard drives & SSDs: Fast, reliable data storage for your valuable designs.
• SD cards & USB sticks: Perfect for mobile backups, fast data transfers or storing multiple print versions.
• Cloud storage: Automatic backups that are accessible from anywhere - but remember: secure passwords are key!

We mean business!

Data loss always hits you when you least expect it. Don't rely on luck, back up your data in good time! A backup today means that tomorrow you can print without worries or immerse yourself in fond memories while looking through old photos.
