What do you use to back up your info

[spindle92]

on your computer?
External drives, the cloud, a service like carbonite......or are you one of those who never backups and just prays?

This post brought to you by the fact that I thought I just lost a huge file when in reaity I was looking at the wrong external drive.

Glad you found your file! And this just reminded me I should backup my laptop. I haven't done it on awhile.

I don't have ANYTHING.


This is probably bad.

My server admin boyfriend does everything. We have multiple terabytes (it is excessive I know) of external storage.

multiple external hard drives, a home server, and cloud storage. I would be devastated to lose pictures.

I want to get an external hard drive. Right now I back up to CDs and flash drives.

Cloud for some. The rest is in an external hard drive that stbxh has. I need to get my own and I want to get my stuff off of the old one first.

captainmel - did you or your admin boyfriend call my dad?
He just called to inform me he purchased not one but two extrenal drives last night and each is a terabyte.

WTF dad - you save nothing so why did you get talked into so much storage??
Damn Office Depot people can talk my dad into all sorts of "upgrades".

Prepare to laugh sone more.
I am here right now and not only did they talk him into terabytes on the hard drives...they also talked him into 4 flash drives. I am just laughing at this. And also heading back to the store to return all this shit. Good grief.
