New Year’s Resolution: Back It Up
Returning to work this morning, I found one of the servers dead on arrival. (Geeky Moment: We have RAID, but 2 out of 3 drives failed.) It’s been a terrible Monday, and almost everyone is angry. But thanks to backups, the server will be restored by tomorrow, and nobody will lose much work.
3 backup solutions:
- Buy an external drive and copy everything to it religiously.
- If you have Windows 7, check out its backup utility.
- Do it automatically with an online service such as Dropbox.
I hate telling people that their photos and work cannot be restored. Don’t be that guy.
