C.G. Computer poll. How do you back up?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

I did this poll some time ago but I just want to see what the results are now. The Separate Partition/Disk could be a CD/DVD or Hard Drive.

1. Make sure to turn on the "beep-beep-beep" noise before you do.

2. I save everything to punch cards

and keep them all in a special shed I had to build. Sure hope the shed don't burn down!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

6. They have these new things called hard drives. You should check them

out ........ :sarcasm: :popcorn:

[anarch]

9. yeah, I heard about those...

They sounded too hard to figure out...I mean, they are "hard" drives, right? It does suck to have to use like 150 square feet of storage space to save a single Word document, though. And let me tell you, loading a Powerpoint presentation is a real bitch. :(

13. I put 2-3 weeks, but

in reality it's whenever I remember to do it. If I'm working on an important project, I may just back up that project.

17. I back up my data to DVD, and my bootable drive I create a Ghost image

of.

I don't care if I have to re-install some software, I can get 90% of my functionality back almost immediately.

[FuzzySlippers]

18. Well, I look to make sure no other cars are behind me,

then I slowly back out, being careful not to hit the cars on either side of me.....oh wait:think:.....does this have something to do with computers?....:shrug:

[SoCalDem]

19. I have a thingie that looks like a swiss army knife

and plugs into my computer.. It even has scissors:)

22. WHOA! I'm impressed!!

:thumbsup: :bounce:

23. Well, when you use Mac OS9, it's easy. Unlike System X.

All I have to do is grab folder icons and drop 'em onto the hard drives. Cant' do that with X; you need backup software.

So it's a piece of cake. Once while I'm eating lunch, and once at the end of the day.

And archiving? I use ONLY Mistui Gold Cds, burn them at 1X speed, and make two copies of each CD. One copy goes into the bank safety-deposit box.

No way in hell I'm ever going to lose more than a half-day's work, or have to re-create a project because the archive CD delaminated.
