Back Ups !!!

[AltaLawnCare]

After what happened here, I got anal about backing up my work.

I've been using "Nero Express" to format CDs to use like big floppies.
Works great.
I checked on tape back up systems to copy the entire hard drive, but too pricy!

I just got a DVD burner to save my backups on. Dang DVD disc will hold 4.7 GB of data. I prefer to copy and paste when I save.

I have a stack of 30 disc's that are compressed using a backup program. Some how the first disc got damaged. All lost.

All the sites on my server Willowhost.net are backed-up every night so there should not be a problem if it went down.

I cloned my hard drive after It had all programs installed. Now I only back up files that are important, namely my business files.

We have a good host now..

No sense in making backups if you don't have a good system. Do you take a backup home with you from work, so if the whole computer is stolen tonight you still have all your data to reinstall in a new computer? Maybe you're feeling safer because your computer is at home - but thefts happen at home, too. And where are those backups stored at home? Would all be lost if the house or garage burned to the ground?

Any bigger business should be running a RAID (redundant array of independant devices) system. In a RAID system, all data is written simultaneously to 3 or 4 separate hard drives. These drives are hot swappable in a good system, so even if your machine is always on, you can remove a hard drive for safe offsite storage every night.

i back mine up to two different cd drives and a external firewire hard drive.

I always have three different backups.
