How many times have your heard that you must backup, and how many of you actually do so.
For that matter, of those that do backup, where do you keep that backup, in the same bag as your laptop so both can be stolen. Up stairs at home, only the one backup? When did you last test it?
Don’t worry I am not about to tell you a heart rending story of lost data, even though I know of people who have.
Just a reminder, disks fail, and we all live digital lives these days with cherished memory’s sat on our hard disks.
Please backup to at least two independent disks, test them regularly and why not leave one at a friends house, or at you office. Just think, if you house was robbed or burnt down and everything was lost, how would you feel if your favourite digital memories were lost forever.
Oh and please remember it’s the BBC UK Children in Need Day today, join in, or help out at an event near you.
