Do you have a backup?

[watts300]

I never see a parts list in the Build section with a backup drive, and no one ever mentions it.   The computers in my home are backed up.  

 

Is yours?

[MeltingPoint]

No. Don't hate.

[Tro]

I don't care about my shit enough to take the time and press a button.

I just picked up a 1tb HDD that I back up important files to, mostly images. For files I just use Younited, since its more secure than dropbox.

 

Unfortunately I only back up my files I something happens to make me think the pc will fail and I'll lose everything. 

[Dimwitted]

You're foolish if you don't have *anything*. Even just a restorepoint and an image of your completed system. External drives are cheap, there's cloud services, yadda, yadda, yadda. There's no reason not to have something.

[OfficialJsP]

there is nothing that important on my pc to back up tbh just game and programs 

[MoDtEc]

not on my system but there isnt any personal data anyways

documents i might need are backed up to onedrive

(have fun nsa reading german essays about economy)

and pictures and stuff are all over to my familys fileserver which runs a raid array (dont remember if 1 or 5 my dads concern there) and a backup of the raid

[Gloxxy]

I am a DJ so I back up all of my digital music to 3 separate drives so I don't lose anything I have bought/collected over the years.

[JTB123]

No. But I am changing that this week, I have been with the dark side far too long and it's time I changed 

[ADM-Ntek]

the only thing i might even consider worth saving is my minecraft install/save since i have spend like 1000+ hours on that.

[HeyKitty]

I do back up some things, but thats just a few docs and pics.

[ShadowCaptain]

Yup see the server in my sig

[TheMidnightNarwhal]

Well I don't really have extra storage to put a  my stuff on.

[Real_PhillBert]

O have all of my documents and important goodies on my raid 1 array, my programs however are not backed up beyond the ones that use cloud services.

[KE2012]

I have a few saved games backed up but that is about it. 

[ExcitezR]

i had a backup on my old system but forgot to reset it back up so going to do it know thanks also all my pic are in MS data center 

[ace101.]

No back-up at the moment. Still trying figure out my FreeNAS at VMware. Once successful I'll make a build for a NAS (If budget permits).

[ManWithBeard1990]

yes. Everything gets backed up to a separate harddrive in my pc. If my RAID0 fails, I'm safe. If the PSU decides to blow and take everything with it, or the pc gets stolen, not so much.

[Nowak]

If I back up files, it's typically not the whole system, but rather important things like documents, photos, application data and mods.

[j0hn4devils]

I back up almost nothing, partially because I don't have much space to back files up with.

All of my storage in both of my main desktops is RAID0

 

I keep the small ammount of important data in encrypted containers on Google Drive

[MrRavens]

I guess the stuff I care about are already backed up...on Steam

[SIGSEGV]

I do for my Macbook Air, not for my rig though, I don't really need one as my source code and other important stuff is stored online somewhere (except for a load of old photos which I'll be copying to my backup drive soon).

[TetraSky]

I have an external 3TB WD My Book USB 3.0 dedicated to backup, so in the worst case scenario, I can pick up the drive and run. (fire?)

 

I backup my OS drive twice a week while backing up my other drives once or twice a month.

Also set to erase backups older than 2 months.

 

That said, I just looked at Acronis and it seems like it stopped working at the end of december.. meaning nothing was backed up in January... gotta fix that ASAP.

[Ex0Thermic]

I try and backup my pc at least once a month. I do a system snapshot/image so if my ssd fails or I scew up windows I can just boot my usb pen drive and restore my PC.
I also do a file sync/backup off my data (which is on my second HDD) too. these are stored no my external 3tb hdd, which i'm looking to replace with a nas soon
I don't worry about backing up my games (which again are on there own hdd) as i can always download/reinstall them
