 ====== Backup Scripts ======
+Backing up data is something that everyone says you should do but nobody gets around to it until it's too late.  I learned the hard way when some water got spilled on my computer and reverse-electroplated some copper off of the hard drive PCB, rendering it useless.  Fortunately, I had some backups, but not everything was backed up.  These scripts are tried and true, and I use them very often to keep my data secure.  The first script can be set up in maybe 10 minutes, tops.  The second one takes a bit longer, but produces an encrypted backup for security.
+Grab these scripts and get your data secure today!
