hey it's that time again.

do you have data? that you like? is it backed up? do you have automatic backups you've checked are actually happening?

in multiple locations?

have you done a test restore to make sure the backups work?

*even an extra copy on a flash drive is better than no backups*

@NanoRaptor counterpoint: I have 50TB of data. I can't afford to back it up

@freya similar tbh... but i do have a core of irreplaceable ones. My NAS is a little one, its backup drives little too, relatively.

Can you afford to lose it?

@kirtai @NanoRaptor I am on SSI. I do not have the money to dedicate to backing it up. it's not a tradeoff, it's a literal state

@freya @NanoRaptor i have on my personal pc ~500GB i chose that only 10GB of which are backed up with an exclude pattern: games, films, downloads or logs.

Look up if there is more important stuff in there and treat it with more special care
