Have you done a backup recently?


Recommended Posts

i use windows scheduler to backup any changes daily to an attached ssd drive, and then monthly i copy the deltas to two larger HDs...(kept in fireproof safe).

 

i do this for all my data and music.

 

I used to mail a copy to my brother in another state until he passed away...mainly so he could also have a backup as well, but it was nice to have a copy offsite just for my concerns as well.

 

Once my data was larger than 1TB, i deleted a lot of DSD files that i never listen too. (got rid of a lot of classic and blues, keeping mostly jazz and a few classics)...i am content with my 1TB and will keep it trimmed to that point.

My backup drives are 4TB, but i keep the music below 1TB because that is the size of my ssd drives, and i really don't listen to more than 1tb music.

Sure. Which means you still need to have other alternative backups.

So if you go that route, you have to monitor it and get a new service as soon as the previous one goes belly up. 

The outlay for some of them is modest, so you might lose $50 if one of them goes away. 

and then the question arises, if you are swift enough to keep one copy, why not just keep 2 copies and save the subscription prices....i actually keep 4 or more copies.
