World Backup Day today -- how are you saving your stuff?

windows home server is what i use. It backs up all of my PCs every night. All media is also stored on the server. The server gets backed up daily.

Different thumb drives for different stuff. Backup as needed.

External hard drive

Time Machine is OK, for the most part, but I've had issues with it, where sometimes existing backups will get corrupted, and Time Machine will post a dialog about that, then erase all backups and start backing up from scratch.

For desktops and stuff at my S&B place, I like using Veeam on the Windows side to a dedicated NAS and I have a dedicated Time Capsule for the Mac. However, having CrashPlan plus a custom encryption key ensures that if something happens to the NAS or Time Capsule, the data is still protected.

Cloud services can be debated, but with client-side encryption, even though they are not infalliable or 100% secure, it provides a "good enough" element as a place to restore from as a last resort.

Time Machine software on Apple computer makes backup to hard drive automatically several time every day.

I have music files ( my own) on a thumb drive and a couple other computers. But I have nowhere near hundreds of gigs. I make a backup every time I do work on my music files.

2 thumb drives...

one for data
other for photo's.

did not know there was a special day for it.

once a month.

X3..... Use two external hard drives.

I also use external hard drives.

There was a post on the forum recently. The member lost all his photos that were stored on Photobucket.

First, I NEVER use a service "in the cloud" (which is just someone else's computer system), even the new Windows 10 I-cloud availability. Anything maintained on anyone else's computer is 100% disposable.

I maintain 2 external hard drives where I keep my "stuff". I have files on my laptop, but I routinely copy them over to both hard drives. I then use the hard drive and copy them to my wife's computer.

On-line 'stuff'... no! As little as possible. I just don't want dependency on someone else. Although they 'say' they are safe ... they are STILL prone to hacking and malicious activity. I'll keep my stuff on an external hard drive and file it away just like we use to do when everything was "paper." ..... in my file cabinet!
