[GNC] Improvement suggestion

[William Prescott]

I agree.

I have three backup systems for my computer:

• I have an external disk attached to it and set up MacOS Time Machine to backup to that disk.
• I pay a cloud company to backup my computer (Currently CrashPlan/Code42 but I have thought about switching to BackBlaze).
• And I use SuperDuper! to make a clone of my computer every few days alternating between two different disks.

The different systems provide protection against different types of failures (disk crash, theft, fire, ransom encryption, cloud company failure, mistaken deletion of files). I feel all are necessary. But at least one is an absolute necessity for anyone who has any data they care about keeping.

A few years ago, over the space of a few weeks I had failures in almost all of these systems for different reasons. Fortunately the failures did not all occur at the same time, so I did not lose any data although some of the organization of old emails was lost so they would be hard to find.

This kind of thing is generally your responsibility. I can't think of a single bit of software I use for work - be it CAD, document writing, spreadsheet, or whatever - that does backup of my data for me. That task is on me, and rightly so. The time my computer suffered a complete crash, the data lost was my fault. Set yourself up a nice automated backup for your data (like Time Machine on MacOS).
