BillTheBinMan 0 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Who here doesn't take regular computer backups? Frind of mine just had a hard disc failure, and her last backup was 6 months ago. 6 months work wiped out, she is in a right pickle. It might be a pain, but definitely worth doing!

klingon 10 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I try to once a week but it is usually 2-3 times a month. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Not a prob. Work files are all on LAN, backed up daily. Personal PC files on an external hard drive, which also gets backed up when I can be arsed. Link to post Share on other sites
blinkin'ek 0 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Sadly, when I can be arsed doesn't work out so often. Must do more. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 errmmm....I've never done that. I don't work on my computer, but I'd be a tad inconvienienced if my hard drive crashed.....the OS came loaded into the comp so I have no CD's to reboot it. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I don't have a back up either. But I don't depend on it for my work. I could do with a back up flaming power supply for my house though. Paid an electrician $550 today to rip my house apart and achieve nothing - he's coming back with reinforcements tomorrow. Hope they solve the problem because I emptied the contents of my 3 door commercial fridge into the back of the Reaper's ute all double bagged and sent him off to the business to dump it all in the commercial bins. No fridge, no toaster, no microwave, no freezer, no washing machine, no wireless internet, no foxtel - and no damned coffee!! Not happy! If I back up my computer do ya think I can prevent a disaster like that again? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Same as thursday - everything is backed up on a lan at home, got three pcs of stuff backed up on it, and once a month take mirror images of the HDD of VITAL stuff ie photos, documents, and some music. Everything is is dispensable, Link to post Share on other sites
AET 0 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm interested in this LAN thing. For those of us totally non technical, how does that work? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 plug a usb hdd into the modem and stick it on the network - well if only it were that simple. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I back mine up about once a month but do a double backup of my most important folder once a week. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 mine is done daily now to an external HDD. Looking at doing the lan thing. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Depends a bit on whether the stuff stored is "mission critical" to a business or just personal stuff. If the former - don't backup and you're stupid. The latter - inconvenience but the world willnot end. Link to post Share on other sites
