I guess if you expect the doomsday, you should save backups in a bunker.
All of important documents are scanned in as PDF's and stored off site, along with a local copy. Everything I need for a catastrophic lost is easy to get to, instead of trying to dig through rubble.
The Air Force did not bomb anyone in 1943 & 1944. That was the Army Air Corps and Marines who flew planes during WWII. The Air Force was not even formed until 1947.
I understand it was not the Air Force but Air Forces. But at the time I did not understand the difference. I was only 7 years old and burning houses and burning people left a lifetime impression.
I keep all business records on my computer. I wouldn't be able to survive without them. Also have pictures of kids and grandkids that haven't been printed.
I always kept a backup in a safe deposit box at the bank. After a major hurricane (lost the roof to my office but not my data) I realized the bank could have been damaged and it took weeks for them to reopen. I could have been out of business for a month! Realized then that I had to get my offsite backup into a different geographical location and moved to a cloud service.
Hmm, hurricanes. I understand that this can be a problem. But in the Black Forest we never have hurricanes. And I live on a mountain that will never flood.
Hi,
Why not make at least one back up of the system ? Especially when one wants to changes things every so often ...?As far as my system drive is concerned, I don't have a back up. I like to reconfigure the whole darn thing every so often anyway, so I don't feel the need to back up my OS and other programs.
I mean, what's the point of having all these important files backed up when all of a sudden you're without a system to continue that work, right ?
Ever since I've had W10 crash on me a couple of times, admittedly quite some time ago, I just keep a spare drive with the OS on so I can just pop it in when needed.
Cheers,
