Protecting Digital Books

Hello,

I have several digital books from qpress on my Mac. I am worried that when my computer goes I'll lose all my books. How can I prevent this from happening? Thanks

You may back the PDFs onto an external storage device. Also, I believe that your QPress account will allow for a limited number of re-downloads.

I am a big believer in back-ups. I have two separate external drives running independent back-ups. One is an OS X USB-C drive running Time Machine and the other runs a daily incremental program. I also have my important files backed up to a DropBox account. Plus, I keep a copy of all my PDF method books on my iPad. An ounce of prevention vs. a pound of cure...

HTH

I back-up periodically on a memory stick/external drive. I also keep things in google drive so I can easily transfer to my iPad or if something really went haywire.
