Just a quick lesson you could learn from me.
I upgraded the operating software on my MacBook Pro that I use for work and a couple of days later it had crashed. Rebooted it and it couldn't find the operating software to even boot up. Long story short I had to reinstall the whole mac, turns out the last backup I had was 17th July. I've just finished getting about 90% of the software running on it again, and I've lost a shed load of photos, music, a vat return, christ knows how many invoices and receipts, and to be honest with you I don't know what else I've lost. It'll be a case of finding out when I come to need it.
So just wondering what you guys use to back up phones and computers? And if you wondering whether some of you don't even bother?
Somebody said to me once if you don't have three copies of something in the digital world, it doesn't exist.
I've now got the server taking copies of some stuff, the "time machine" (apple calls it that not me, it's a fancy external hard drive that does some other stuff too) and then the copy on the computer too. And I've reconfigured the time machine to make sure it backs up even when I'm on Wifi which seemed to be the problem with it not backing up regularly.
Pain in the back side is an understatement it's taken two days out of my week!!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
