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:

  1. Buy an external drive and copy everything to it religiously.
  2. If you have Windows 7, check out its backup utility.
  3. 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.
