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 I've got a daily backup to a USB external drive, a weekly backup to a NAS, a monthly-ish backup to a second external drive that's disconnected and stored in a more secure corner of the house when not being written to, and a once or twice a year backup to *another* external drive that I store at the house of a relative who lives in a different town. Plus another two full copies of my system on external drives intended less as a backup and more as a way of having the ability to get at anything I could possibly need while on my laptop, and another 2-3 portable SSDs with select items.
It's actually kind of a problem...
@NanoRaptor I actually have not!
...but during my university days I worked part-time in the wing of the IT department that offered tech support to students, and that campus was rough on laptop hard drives.
@lusrangifer Oh that's grand then!
I lost everything in 2000, and only got it (mostly) back more than a decade later.
Still have The Fear!
