What is your backup strategy?

13 years ago

I back everything up to a physical external drive once a week.

I back up most online properties every time a make a major change or after I have made significant minor changes - usually winds up being about once a month.

Very important things I also back up to a private server each day.

Thanks

That reminds me I need to get an external hard drive to store all my internet marketing stuff. My laptop has crashed twice and I had to restore it to factory settings.

Thanks

Thanks,

I use a few of these. I've been a programmer for almost 30 years now, so I learned about the need for frequent backups fairly quickly.

I have a mirrored external drive that syncs every night, and my real estate gets backed up every week on both my PC and on my server.

I can guarantee that anyone who doesn't back up on a regular basis will regret it sooner or later.

Yep, I nearly lost all of my work on the harddrive the other day. Hence, I now backup everything each night.

Raided drives then offsite backup to make sure... This also goes for my servers. Piece of mind costs nothing.
