What I Learned in CompSci #6: Backup and Versioning

Backup and Versioning
Backup


What is a backup?
A backup is a copy of a file on another device. It is created to make sure when a file is deleted, we have a copy of it.

We can create a backup on a usb, another computer, internet, and other similar devices.

What is versioning?
Versions

Versioning is making another file when saving a file. When we save a file, we keep the previous copy, which is a previous version of the file. We do this so that when we liked a previous version of a file more than the current one, we wont start over.
