Why Backup

Backup Add comments

As we all now load our computers full of memories such as those once in a lifetime photos and videos, or love ones that are no longer with us.  All we need is to loss them when an hard drive goes.

Like most geeks I tell everyone else to backup, but sometimes forget to backup myself and that has led to memories being lost until I was able to recover most of the files from the dead hard drive via recovery software.

If you backup to the Windows Home Server, then are you not putting all your eggs into one basket.  With Power Pack 1 – Microsoft has allowed users to add a Hard drive as a Server backup, it is better to have this hard drive not in the system but as an external drive, meaning that you can move that hard drive to someone offsite in case of fire/flood.
