Backups

Offsite backups
Spare computers in the basement
Server in the basement
Nas in the basement
Hard drives liying around with backups like they were spaggety.

I did have a carbonite account...but everytime it wanted to back, my computer would slow to a freaking crawl. And I use my computer are variable times so it's hard for me to schedule a specific time to actually do the backup. Plus it seemed like it was literally constantly in the middle of a back up. It never finished, it was under constant back up mode which was really really annoying....

So for at the moment I'm using the Windows Back up push system image backup to my external 1.5 Terrabyte drive.

Seagate Backup Plus 5TB is down to $115 today.

I had some shitty recovery software back in 2009 that was a pain in the ass to set up. I ordered this one even though it is Seagate because it was supposed to be much easier to manage nowadays rather than fucking with the windows scheduler.

Hmm...that's not bad at all.... I like the extra 200 gig of OneDrive storage. Do you use this personally?

Do it when you're sleeping.

I ordered it yesterday before it dropped $5 more. It's on its way so I can't cancel and re-order to get that extra discount.

I don't use OneDrive.
Work doesn't take that much storage.
Games can be redownloaded from Steam or just downloaded straight to my phone.
Porn has its uses, but it's not something I would share or use for on the go.
Movies are better to have already on your phone or in an SD card rather than trying to redownload it over your mobile network.

What exactly do you use OneDrive for? Certainly not storing shitty reaction face images.

My computer is already on for most of the day, I really don't like leaving it on for 24 hours...

>Data stored on OneDrive is subject to monitoring by Microsoft, and any content that is in violation of Microsoft's Code of Conduct is subject to removal and may lead to temporary or permanent shutdown of the account.

Good luck Microsoft. I encrypt all my porn, guns and marketing before uploading them to onedrive and there's nothing you can do to stop it!

Why wouldn't you be encrypting everything anyways? Also, why the hell do they ban shit about guns?

>>51513470

because talking about buying guns is on the level of child porn and online surveys.

Just call up amazon customer service and ask for a credit.

What would be a good removable media for me to backup my data to, should I just use a USB external hard drive or is there something better?

OneDrive is perfect for storing your image folders so you can always post the best face from every device.
