✍️ A Note from the Author

I built this course because I've watched too many talented professionals lose months of work to a single hardware failure or a simple mistake. It's a painful experience that is almost always preventable with the right plan in place. I wrote these lessons for anyone who needs to protect their digital life but doesn't have time for technical jargon.
