When should I back up my videos or photos?

 

Every day, people start asking for help online, "How can I get back the photos I deleted from my phone?" You'll be able to tell that mistakenly deleting your only copy of a data file is a very common but regrettable occurrence. So it is very obviously important to back up your data information at this electronic time.

 

It is more reliable to be prepared in advance than to remedy a mistake after it has been deleted. But with so many images recorded by home cameras, how can we be sure when we should back up our photos and videos? Here's a list of tips for you to follow.

    How long will the video be stored?

    If you use an SD card to store videos, new videos will be rewritten to the memory card when there is not enough video storage space. The length of the stored video is related to the capacity of your memory card and the clarity of the video.

    And for cloud storage users, you can have a month to view and save these videos.
