Description: Manual backup is a data copying process that is initiated and controlled by the user. Unlike automated backup systems, where backups are performed on a scheduled basis without human intervention, manual backup requires the user to select the files or folders they wish to back up and choose the time and medium for the copy. This method allows for greater control over the process, as the user can decide which data is most important and when is the right time to make the copy. However, it also involves greater responsibility, as it relies on the user’s diligence to perform regular and complete backups. Manual backups can be made on various media, such as external hard drives, USB drives, or even cloud storage, as long as the user is aware of the need to keep their data secure. This approach is particularly useful in environments where data changes frequently or where special attention is required for certain files, such as in creative projects or the management of sensitive information.
