Yeah I know the feeling! Had a problem twice, lost lots of important data :-( So now, I have a backup disk for the backup, of my most important data ;-)

dont forget terracopy for copy/pasting....after a paste...it gives you the option ( in preferences/ not default) to test the copy paste...so for example if copying to a usb stick drive which can at times mess up. you can be sure of success. it's free too.

Yes - I learned this the hard way. Now I have an automated backup of a backup. RAID only protects you if a drive dies but the RAID remains healthy. But if the RAID itself takes a shit - well that's no fun.
So now I have two disparate external RAID systems backing up to eachother using synctoy.

clever clogs.
i back up my 0' and 1's to good old fashioned chalk and slate. i am still backing up the first mp3, and my garden is piled up with slate, but at least ,when I am done, no electromagnetic flare thingy from our sun will wipe out cliff Richards remastered 'wired for sound'.

I was surprised several months ago at how cheap 3 TB drives are. Insanity.
A lot of my tech brain is stuck in 1998, so everything is a marvel and amazingly affordable to me.
30 years from now, 100 TB drives are gonna cost like 5 cents.
I only have 8 GB RAM on this workstation, but that's 4x the capacity of my hard drive in 1997. 16 GB RAM expandability affordable; 32 GB kind of expensive yet. That being said, perhaps in 15 years, my workstation RAM will be 4x the (conservative) hard drive space that I have now, at 4 TB. Hard drive space at 500x-- 500 TB.
What the fuck kind of apps and computer life I'm gonna be living using 4 TB RAM and 500 TB hard drive space, I have no idea. Blows me fockin' mind, mang.
When thinking back to my first computer in 1997, I suppose the expanded usage is related to what I was doing then-- computer graphics, music making, and entertainment from da music/films (well, I did not have films, but I used to collect music videos). Nothing "new".
Uh, but yeah-- good to backup important stuffs. Redundant RAID drives is the easiest.
The computer is a machine, but it is also an organic being affected by emotion as all others. So I do tend to treat my computers and other hardware with love, and they seem to stay in good condition for many o years. If your hardware only knew how much you loved them, they would feel great and be much stronger in the face of general tech-breaking stresses.
If you haven't thanked your hardware recently, I highly recommend giving them the thanks they deserve, for helping you become the you that you are.

apparently the eco system will collapse this century.
the oceans are in rapid decay.
pc upgrades may not be that important. : ?
