Making Sense of Backing Up Your Computer (February 1, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90068 90068-21667700@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 1, 2022 10:00am

When it comes to backing up the data on our computers, phones, and tablets, many of us have thought, "Is that something I should be doing?" While the answer is definitely YES, setting it up can be confusing and feel daunting.
Hard drives vs. "The Cloud." Apple Time Machine, Windows File History, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, Apple iCloud (where is that cloud located anyway?). In this study group, Jim Keen will explore the reasons for and common methods of backing up your data, so you'll be able to decide what is best for your own situation.
Jim Keen holds a BA (communications) and an MA (educational studies) from the University of Michigan. He currently owns and operates Keen Focus Technology Tutoring. This study group will meet Tuesday February 1.
Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.
