SuperboyAC's DC blog #3 (My Unique Data Backup Solution)We all know that it's vital to back up our important data, but how many of us actually do it diligently? It's easy when the amount of data you have can fit on a disk, cd, dvd, etc., but once you get into much larger sizes, backing up becomes much more complicated, much more of a nuisance, and the average person just will not have the proper motivation to do it--especially if it's only personal data and not work related or something.
As hardcore as I am with computers, I fell into this lackadaisical mindset. Unfortunately, I had all of my data on the dreaded IBM 80 GB Deskstar (aka "DeathStar") drive. The drive died mechanically and I lost all my data. I couldn't afford the expensive data recovery services (who can?), so that was it. I vowed to take backing up seriously from that point on. It took 2 years, but I finally came up with a solution that I feel is great for my situation, and hopefully it will help others here. |
