That's why you have to backup your files on a floppy disk

Yeah, I put all my important spreadsheets and stuff on my desktop and copy my desktop from time to time on a spare usb. Which reminds me I need to do that. Sorry that happened to you. You'll find that life still goes on though.

I still have a DVD burner but yeah, it's been a couple years since I did a real backup. Of course, i have taxes, etc. all printed on paper and in a filing cabinet but lots of photos could be lost over the past couple years.

Dude.
Always back everything up AT LEAST twice. I actually do hourly -> daily -> weekly -> monthly rollups to two different destinations, one of which I keep in a fireproof safe. |

I'm worried I'll lose all my contacts stored on my phone if I drop it in the lake. How can I back that up???

yeah, spare USB is a better idea, I've been considering a networked drive with scheduled backups but just haven't done it.

Guys,
You can buy 4TB of storage in the size of a cigarette box for less than $100. Don't use DVD's, USB flash drives, or anything like that. Buy two external hard drives and use them both. |

How much would it cost. I am willing to try, just not gonna drop $1000.00 for them to start and then $50.00 per hour plus parts. I would but I got kids in college man.
