Is Is safe to Scan Every Piece of Personal Document to your Computer Files?

Answer 1

sure,.. if you are worried about others finding them via the internet simply store them on a exernal hard drive and just turn it off when you don't need it. It will no longer be accessible until you turn it back on and your computer will not need it on to run

two things to keep in mind,.

1) Keep a separate backup of those documents since, if you lose them you may no longer be able to replace them

2) If they are confidential, consider applying an encryption to the entire hard disk. This is a very simple process. Try PGP encryption

Answer 2
