A method and apparatus for backing up data in response to detection of an imminent threat to the integrity of the data stored on the storage component a computing device is disclosed. The storage component may be a hard drive and the imminent threat may be a hard drive failure or a malware threat. In response to the receipt of an imminent threat, data stored on the storage component is copied to a computer-readable media either automatically or in response to user input. The backup procedure is configured by selecting data to backup and a media of storage on which to store the backup. Various sources of threat events are described.
