7 things all kids need to hear

1 I love you

2 I'm proud of you

3 I'm sorry

4 I forgive you

5 I'm listening

6 RAID is not backup. Make offsite backups. Verify backup. Find out restore time. Otherwise, you got what we call Schrödinger backup

7 You've got what it takes

@nixCraft Number 6 is why the first thing I do at every client / employer is ask them fir their backups and if they can't provide me with 3-2-1 backup strategy and known restore times I assume they have none, so I'll backup everything and test the restore as my first move.

  • This saved at least one client/employer's ass in the past...

Yes. For home use I have a NAS made from a Raspberry Pi and SSD drives (X 2 for a second cronjob backup within the NAS), plus a secure cloud account for vital stuff.
I think that's 1-2-3.
