Keep data and stuff on Dropbox and use git for code.
We get unlimited cloud storage at work so when I changed work computer just before Christmas I uploaded the entire hard drive of my old computer I will probably never look at this data again.
I voted “I lost some stuff I didn’t care about shrug” because it was backed up on two separate hard drives.
I’m the king of back ups. After a traumatic work incident when I lost a year’s worth of satellite weather data.
have had a couple of laptops break with lots of music on them that i’ve had to either re-rip from CD, try to redownload from somewhere or just accept is gone.
never lost anything actually important but the music thing is a pain in the arse.
usually i can copy most of it back from phone or mp3 player but twice it’s happened where my mp3 player had been broken or lost. v irksome.
Flatmate asked me to help her to choose an external hard drive to back up her business files. It was literally 140mb of word/excel stuff. She’d never even heard of Dropbox!?
I should do this if only to spare the embarrassment of someone finding my Omaha the Cat Dancer and Milo Manara comics.
fucking normies!
Favourite physical storage media?
Just did an audit and my priorities are fucked
Work related stuff to re-use in new jobs = backed up on two HDDs Music, photos and other important sentimental stuff = backed up on two HDDs Comic books and all superhero films = backed up on three HDDs
once forgot to back up some of my music and lost a whole album which I never recreated. OOPS!
Seems like there’s no way to backup saves on the Switch. This makes me nervous.
