Why would you bother backing up online? So cheap and easy to do offline. I just have two separate external drives where I do alternate backups every few days and store in separate locations.
Simples!
- Agree.
Use Dropbox for temp file access and external HD full backup of everything.Hayzilla - Not everyone can store external HD's in separate locations. I take it you mean 1 at home and one at office or something?microkorg
- ... if both are at home and you get burgled or theres a fire then you lose everything.microkorg
- yep fire, hurricane, flood, crazy girlfriend, some shit that'll never happen but does.fyoucher1
- That's why you keep one in a fire safe and the other on your person at all times.mg33
- doing alternate backups "every few days" isn't doing backups, sorryernexbcn
- plus it's not a chore, you pay a service and it runs on the background, copying files manually or managing drives like you say isn't a proper backupernexbcn
- you can back up to a fire safe?dbloc
- or are you pulling the drive out of the safe to backup every other day? seems like a lot of work.dbloc
- Unless someone takes your firesafe. Then you're screwed.fyoucher1
- cat pee. A friend lost his hard drive because his cat peed on it. Cat's can't pee on clouds.Beeswax
- This is perfectly suited for my backup regime. Granted it's not a one size fits all. But some over complicate this process.BusterBoy
