Something i haven’t seen posted here yet, but worth say over and over again.

Murphy’s law says that anything that can go wrong will go wrong… but with the 3-2-1 strategy in place, your data always survives.

    I really need to figure out a good offsite backup solution. I have tons of local backups. And I have the data in google drive, but I really want to store a physical backup somewhere.

    I think I’d should pickup a cheap portable hard drive that I can leave at my mother-in-laws house.

    Just have my personal and work stuff backed up there and I can update it each time I go to visit.

      Portable HD 2Tb is under $100. Well worth the investment. I committed on doing a good routine beginning of the year, (after putting it off for many years). Starting now is better than not at all.

        Yeah, you are 100% right.

        I won’t be heading to my mother in laws house for a while. But next time I’m there, I’ll get one and set it up.
