How (and why) I back up my Windows 11 PC

I’m not going to mince words here — unless you’re doing everything in the cloud, you should absolutely be backing up your Windows PC on a regular basis. It’s easy to get complacent, since, of course, a decent PC can (and should) run mostly trouble-free for years. But when things go south, there’s the possibility of losing extremely important documents, not to mention any media libraries you have. You might be content with streaming video and music most of the time, but there are still movies and albums you can’t find on services like Netflix or Spotify.
