Nothing. No failures and I back up my files. Google Drive works fine. The internet is botnet and I do nothing of the remotest interest to the Illuminati.

Export your passwords, print them, then stash that copy somewhere. Also have backup text file.

You should be ready for total computer loss at any time without warning.

>You should be ready
It's been on my to do list for years. I was thinking of just uploading everything I definitely can't lose to drive / onedrive / mega / etc, perhaps in a compressed encrypted container for extra muh botnet points.

Years ago I was resizing a partition on my drive that had all my movies/pics/docs etc. using Partition Magic. The resizing completed after a while and when the program reached 100%, it flashed a warning that said, "there has been a problem completing the operation, please reboot" or some shit. So, upon reboot, everything was gone!

I spent the whole night recovering my data that night. Also, that was when I took making backups seriously. Lesson learned.

Then you didn't give a shit since the work involved is a couple of leisurely evenings at most if you'd never learnt how before.

Do it NOW while you are aware of the problems not doing it cause for you. If your SSD is dying but not dead, boot from a live Linux USB and copy off what you can.

BTW all my USB flash drives of any size get a Linux install so I can boot from any of them. That's also trivial to do. Check the pendrivelinux site for howto.

>ssd harddrive
you mean a sshd? a hdd that uses ssd as a big cache?
that's the worst meme to fall to, you deserve it
