I knew someone who worked in R&D for a car company, and they had to keep their work on a USB stick with a SIM card in it. If it got lost they could text a code to it that would wipe the drive!

I don’t trust any software to do delta backups between drives (uness I have written the code myself, of course).

I use treecomp for a delta listing : TreeComp

Then I check the output and use treecomp for manual copying, file by file. It’s almost artisan.

Can’t imagine being bothered about losing anything, family photos/video aside maybe. Can’t believe people download stuff any more.

I’ve got a hard drive to do the time machine thing and then I sync google drive on my laptop to google drive in wherever google is saving my files. I think it’s like a pound a month which seems alright.

Really need to figure out how to get my music off my iPod Classic. Got some stuff on there that is not available anymore anywhere online.
