Again google's gentle reminder to backup your stuff

Post by luggyx »

Hi Guys,

Just came across article google deleting blogger’s 12 years of work (Link below). This reminded me how I lost all my data due to hard failure :roll: . Any cloud storage provider could just disable your access to data or delete for many reasons. I am not even considering going out of business.
This reminds me I need to get couple more drives for backups... :D As my backups hasn't being done for a while 8-[ .

It would be interesting to know about about your backup habits.

well, it's pretty careless to trust a 3rd party alone with keeping your important data, not only because who knows what they do with it in context with privacy, but also because one tiny change in their ToS (you know, the mails you never read anyway :lol: ) and they can do what they want...if you stay signed up you automatically agree to anything.

I usually store important stuff on at least 2 spots, like an external harddrive and my home server (with RAID1) and/or on multiple of my online servers if it just file backups and not personal sensitive data.

:wink:
