Merry Christmas

My back-up routine is simple, inexpensive, and fail safe.

1) I use the online back-up service Carbonite. It is encrypted and double-backed up on the Carbonite servers. Cost is $60 per year.

2) I use a 1-terrabyte external HD and along with the free utility called “Karen’s Replicator” my entire network is backed up nightly.

To date I have had 2 hard drive failures but I have not lost anything. Redundancy and off-site are the keys.

This is very timely and wise advice!!! I had not really thought about the value of all the contacts I have made in facebook- most of them I do not have e-mails or other contact info for… college friends who are overseas etc, that I had lost track of until recently.

I just had my students do a survey of their own data, what do they have, where is it, is it secure, and its value. None of us thought of these social networking items.

I really preach not trusting data you are responsible for or depend on to ANYONE else, least of all “IT” departments.

This is a very large down side to the rehash and repackaging of old ideas as “cloud computing”

Nobody else is going to care as much about your data as you do, regardless of what they say about world-class service and other marketing blather. I like the Friday finds and may do something similar. In the meantime, if anyone's interested in the mechanics of local backup, here's my take on How to be usefully paranoid.
