Fair Backup

What to backup?

You can backup using local area network pretty much anything, as you are not limited by bandwidth nor by time, mostly - just by computers’ resources. However, it would not make much sense backing up anything but work documents or data files, unless its a home network - then anything can be backed up.

How often to backup?

The backup schedule depends on the files you intend to backup. As the backup speed is not quite limited, the timing between backups can be varied as desired. Of course, the more important the documents are, the more often they need to be backed up.

How to backup?

If you are backing up to a local area network computer, and the remote computer does not belong to you, you would rather compress and encrypt your files. Compressing files is useful in any case, but file encryption is required if you are backing up to a less reliable destination than your own computer, as anyone in the network will perhaps be able to access your files.
