Thread: Internet backup - now I'm intrigued

Thoughts on backups:

any backup is better than no backup

more backups are usually better

if you're using an "internet drive", putting your primary work there, and your backups on your local drive, means your work files are accessible from any networked device. So if you wind up separated from your main machine, you can still work

backups need to be in at least two places, and at least one of those needs to be off-site in case of fire, flood, wind, etc.

backups don't count. Only RESTORES count. Whatever system you're using, make sure you can recover the backed-up files.

"data security" doesn't just mean keeping other people out of your stuff, it's about you being able to get to it when you need it.
