Do You Know About The Big 3?

And since we're about to start a new year, a new decade, 
it's time to review your computer backup practices.

You guys know my mantra about backup, right?  

 It's the BIG 3.

Local, external hard drive (EHD) or flash drive, and off-site.

1) Local means backing up in backup software on your computer.  However, if you have a hard drive (HD) crash or system failure, you may be out of luck.

2) EHD's give you the security of having another source of your backup, and make sure you store them safely. However, EHD's and flash drives can fail, or you can mistakenly erase them. Gulp.

The above is useless if you have a fire or other catastrophe or they fail on you.

Yes, you can store your EHD in a safety deposit box or a fireproof safe, rated with a high burn time. And that's not a bad idea, but what if you have to drive to the bank ... will you do it all the time? 

3) The third prong in my backup attack is to use off-site backup.  And my choice for this is BackBlaze.  I've used them for years and trust them.  If you need a single file or your entire system, it's there for you. 

I don't think $6/month is too much to pay to have my photographs, work...basically, life backed up continuously. YES, continuously.  

They will back up each HD on your computer and each EHD that you have attached continuously.  Yes, all that for $6/month. 

If you have more than one computer to back up, it's another $6/month. 

Be safe, BACK UP now and check out BackBlaze, they are my trusted partner.

It's World Backup Day

New Partnership ~ Backblaze, A Backup Company I Use & Trust

There is nothing more terrifying than the blue screen of death facing you on your computer monitor or gulp, a hard drive crash.  And you've not backed up your data recently, or worse at all.

I found Backblaze well over eight years ago and have trusted them to back up my data continuously. And if a file goes missing from my computer, or I hopelessly corrupted a file I can find it on my backup.  

Backblaze works in the background backing up your files without you realizing its keeping you safe. You get peace of mind for an incredibly reasonable price. And if you have EHDs they can be backed up as well on the same account.  

And for the sake of full disclosure, I am paid a small commission if you buy Backblaze from the above links or the one on my left Partnerships column of links. Even if you don't subscribe to Backblaze from my links, please just go there and do this.
