A Friendly Reminder...
As you can see by my new icon (or maybe you can't?) Today is backup your data day. Okay, I just made that up. You should be backing up your data everyday. But I figured it was worth a reminder. Especially all you writer types out there. Make an extra backup copy of your work in progress today.
I've mentioned it before, but there can never be too many backups. So back up your data to a different media. Not just a backup file on your harddisk, but out to floppy (if you still have them) tape (egads, you use TAPE?) SD card, flash drive, external Hard Drvie. NAS (if you've got one, you can get a cheap enough one.) CD or save a copy of your file up on the internet at your favorite site.
Yeah, you should do this every day. But I'll send out some friendly reminders every now and then.
I backed up the novel, now clocking in at just shy of 77K words to one of my memory sticks. I'll also backup again out to external disk tonight.
What's your preferred method for backups?
