Designtechnica have thrown up a new guide called Backup that data the smart way! Here's a snip.
No matter how good the components in your computer are, sooner or later you will have a major failure on your hands. Unfortunately it?s usually after such an event that people start thinking that they should have backed up their data. We place our lives on these machines. They are essential tools for education, entertainment, and daily communications and we spend much of our time in front of them. No matter how much time you spend with your computer, make no mistake about it - these machines do not care. They can and will betray you and can and will come crashing down at the most inopportune of times.
In the business world, preparing for this inevitable event is called disaster recovery or DR. While the practice of having spare machines may work for large companies, most of us have to resurrect the machine we have. The key to surviving a major crash is something that sounds quite simple but its importance cannot be over emphasized. This key to disaster recovery is planning.
In this guide we?ll try to get you to face this inevitability and be prepared for the worse case scenario.
