Use clear file names with dates. Maintain a primary and a secondary backup location (e.g., cloud + external drive).

Data Integrity Check

After export, briefly open the file to confirm all columns (Order ID, Date, Price, Status) are correctly populated.

Sensitive Information

If your sheet contains sensitive data, consider using encryption tools or password-protected archives for the backup files.
