You know you can recover everything from a dead HDD?

Considering I keep my data on a mirrored array, I'd be fine. Just go buy a replacement and let the array rebuild it. Now on the off chance I have both drives fail, I would replace them and then copy my data from an external hard drive I keep at a different location. It won't be super up to date since I only run a backup on it like once a month, but it's better than nothing.

>>58632898
clone my backup to my replacement using a desktop cloner then plug it in a boot up

nothing i dont store important files on an active HDD i use an external thats only plugged in while ethermet is off and i am moving files one way or the other

Let's hypothetically say your shit is fucked beyond repair, or your qt imouto got some ransomware installed on accident.

>What's your backup recovery plan /g/?
Cease to care

Couple weeks ago I got some extra harddisks and moved a bunch of files to one of them so I could nuke the partitions of an older disk, by the time it came to formatting the disk turns out I only remember to copy the contents from one of two partitions of the original disk.

That partition contained the originals of the work I did during university, along with a shit load of pirated games. By the time I noticed Recuva could just about see some stuff but there were tons of tiny files, plus it was a dynamic disk I converted back to basic.

Doesn't matter since I never got into that industry anyway.

Put it in the microwave, its the only way to be sure.

why is my SSD clicking?

>>58634847
Alternating power surges have made the electricity jump a gap with such intensity it has vaporise a tiny part of the hardware. The gap has quickly grown as the power keeps jumping and corroding the parts. That clicking sound is the tiny lighting bolt arcing the gap and super heating the nearby gas into a tiny audible shock wave.

OneDrive

I know it's a botnet but I get 1TB free from my University. So I use it anyway.

right now my last back up is a few months old, I'd be fucked.

you can encrypt your data before uploading

I have everything backup on either an external drive or dropbox.

It doesn't matter, all your keys go to Microsoft anyways.

I meant something like veracrypt, not bitlocker

I just bought two cheap refurbished Hitachi 3TB Ultrastars to act as backups.
The seller advertised them as new to bait idiots who think a drive with its SMART values reset to shot 0 power-on hours is actually new, so I acted all indignant that I "discovered" thousand hours old self-test logs on my "new" drive in smartctl, and got a nice partial refund from him, so each drive cost me like $30.

>>58632898
i dont really have any. some important files are on multiple hdds and usb drives. i have never lost any of the data that is not backed up tho.

what important files do you people even have? All my important files are text documents and pdfs related to work/uni and I keep them all on Google Drive. Nothing that's in my local storage matters and wouldn't affect me at all if it suddenly died

>>58632898
I am not stupid enough to store all of my data in one place and not making backups, so I couldn't care less if one drive would die.

You can use OneDrive without W10.

acronis backs up my shit every month.

If it was my desktop computer with no useful files saved to it I'd wonder how my SSD was making a clicking sound.

If it was my file server, I'd order another drive and rebuild my RAID 1 array a few days later from the other disk.

If all my internal hard disks are destroyed I'd just restore from my monthly external backup.

If that failed too I'd have a lot of music and porn to go hunt down again.

I just start redownloading stuff.
Nothing on my drives is so critical it cant be reacquired
