There is a third kind of people who have lost all of their data, know all of the risks, but still say "maybe I'll work on that tomorrow".
We're a small but resilient group of people who enjoy living on the edge, and are known to frequently reformat our hard drives on a regular basis "just for funsies".
Some of us are a bit better and rely entirely on cloud services exclusively. We belong to the third kind of people, but generally identify as belonging to the first kind of people.
I once built a new machine 8 or so years after the release of Windows 98. I decided to install it on this new bare metal machine to see how long it would take.
What once took 45+ minutes on Windows ‘98’s recommended hardware took 11 minutes on tech in 2007; semi-impressive. It was also semi-unstable and unpredictable.
I backed up all my data and my backup device failed. FML. Currently it's out for data recovery which they said could cost between $500 - $1600. FML even more.
Wouldn't care except it had all the pictures and videos of my children from birth (2007) to present. I have managed to cobble together from various sources all of it except for 3 years.
I once lost about 3 years of photos because my oldest daughter had filled our computer with all sorts of stuff, mostly her own photos. I deleted what I thought was a duplicate directory where my photos were, in an effort to free up disc space, only to realize that windows showed a directory that gave the appearance of the same thing in two places :) Because I deleted folders, rather than files, I wasn't able to recover any of them.
They would have been recoverable with the right tools I am reasonably sure. I can't remember what I used when I had a HD failure (was on windows back then) but it pulled the entire file tree back out the void. If you make a bootable USB stick with Linux on it you can recover files when your computer won't even boot anymore without removing the hard drive.
I once had a computer crash and hired some "expert" to retrieve my data. He worked for a couple of hours and gave up. I then went online (on another computer, of course) and found a unix program you could boot from, and it allowed me to retrieve most of what I had lost. The "expert" didn't charge me for his time and I let him know about the unix program :)
Linux bootable USB stick is the shit in this regard. You can go in with a nice little GUI desktop and suite of tools and get that shit done in comfort. Linux mint is a good distro. The expert does seem dubious, he should turn up with bootable media.
Please upload the contents of your entire system to big-name cloud services that we monitor regularly, because openSSL key generators have been compromised by the NSA for years. I mean, you COULD go through all the trouble of buying a USB drive, or getting your own NAS (which will still work for us depending on the manufacturer of the motherboard and your router), but who has TIME for that sort of nonsense? Just trust Google, for example. Pretty please?
Recommending cloud backup is sketchy as hell, OK for a secondary or tertiary back up but as your only back up it is fucking retarded.....
The fappening should have made that abundantly clear to everyone................
Offline air-gap backup is the only backup that is truly private and if you don't keep your backup media in your house they are about on par with cloud when it comes to a second place to store your data.
Funny thing, they sorta hint at what I just said through their use of icons...
Interesting that cellphones incessantly bombard you with updates, and microsoft's shitty os' does the same crap. You can't truly/fully opt-out of on these platforms. And who knows what goes on in the background.
Most people aren't very "tech savvy" and are wholly dependant on the cloud.
Yeah, this shit is just awful. You are a second class citizen on your own device. You can't even close a program and have it stay closed without root access. The whole ecosystem is shit and I did not mind so much before google "acquired it". I am waiting for a decent Linux phone with good battery life that is not made in china. Drop windows stat, that shit is super invasive. Or get windows 10 LTSC at least and do away with most updates, microsoft edge, cortana (and associated spying), microsoft store Etc.
I believe that my requirement of a Linux phone with decent battery life not made in china and not $1000 rules every phone in the world out. I am waiting.........

What if your life is not controlled by your computer?
Hard to believe we survived thousands of years without an electronic nanny watching over our every move.
Yea, I'm old.
I"m not gonna upvote something that is using the word "dis" instead of "this". I mean REALLY? Speak and type correctly! This is exactly where the BS starts.
Jeez. On the cloud? Somebody is really hosed up. Who owns the clouds?
I thought people on here had foresight. But then, I'm old, and grew up in electronics before anyone outside the mil, aerospace, and dark projects even knew what a microprocessor was.
And so, I back up on two or three separate devices on this 'puter I built myself, as I have always done.
OK, I'll shut up now and let you young brilliants take care of yourselves.
Used that way since before Apple. Besides, the way the language is used virtually everywhere these days, including here, nobody needs to criticize. BTW, I DID teach computer technology, from hardware to high level languages, including assembly and microcode, for a few years (5) until the incoming students became generally useless.
I think we should have international, world day, day, to commemorate all the normie date faggy days that proliferate in the age of phony wokedom. Thanks for straightening that out. We got Planefag, Boatfags, Milfags, Lawfags etc, I think you have displayed aptitude as a CalenderFag for at least this one post although you may more accurately prove to be a Techfag in the parlance of Kek!
I have several hard drives and a simple 8 track style (for all us old farts) plug in adapter. All photos and music etc. are backed up on those every so often. If my computer crashes I would only loose maybe a few weeks worth of pictures and any music I own the cd so I just re rip the one or two albums from the previous few weeks. Pictures that new are still on the phone until backed up to a hard drive. Kind of archaic but it works for this simpleton.
There are two kinds of people, those who back up their data and those who have never lost all their data.
Not true.

That may just be the only copy of Windows 8.1 ever seen in the wild. Lol.
True. I think people were catching on that every other version of windows was a paid beta test.

Backup your backup.
So what happened to the original data?
If you only had the one set of data, it's not a backup, it's your data.
Yeah....!!!

Get my data back ntfs. It's a disk level software recovery that works.
I cut my teeth on Playstation 1. Now I make not two but three backups.
Gran Tourismo !!
I was thinking 80 hours of Final Fantasy but I hated when GT corrupted too.
Lmao. My husband says the same thing.

Screw the cloud.
Backup to a local, external hard drive and place that in a metal ammo box or safe.
back your shit up on a cloud so the CIA can rub their nuts all over it. we used to buy external hard drives for that.
That's exactly what I thought! Why would you ever knowingly store your data on the cloud?
Lol. Picturing stepbros as CIA/FBI teabaggin’! Lol
Still do..
Is this reminding us of Q telling us to archive everything offline?

MS has been trash after XP, probably before too, but that was their golden era of decent operating systems
Still not sold on GrapheneOS, especially since it only runs on google hardware that's entirely made in china.

Must be the fun police. ?
What have you got against Scottish accents?
Are you kidding me?
A warning?
Just brought our own cloud. Working on it now
Is not your own cloud just called a Hard Drive or something fancy like NAS?
Pretty much yes. My phone crapped out so I couldn’t finish my sentence.

How about the (Ever)green truck!?! ?
Archive offline.
That's why i made these:
prestophoto.com/akilyoung
I backup all my stuff to the house and VPN/wireguard it to my parents house.
Nothing on the "cloud" that I can't lose, other than email. And I'm not too concerned with that, tbh.
What’s the best vpn hardware to use? I don’t like any vpns out that aren’t next to my cloud drive in my
I use site to site VPN. So it's all locally hosted for myself.
That’s awesome, I’ll look into it
Was this a thing on 3/31/20 or any other previous years?
It goes back to 2011 or 2012, I think.
Meaning they post this reminder every year on 3/31?

We backup locally on a raid 5 Nas with 12 terabytes of space followed by redundant cloud storage. I think we are good.
EMP?
Jesus saves and makes incremental backups!

nakasone actually might be doing stuff?
Well crap better make sure all my drives are up to date.
"Central comms blackout" coming soon?
That's what I was thinking ?
I hate fucking computers. Fucking nuisances. Going to the wood fzgs. Eat dicz lol
backing up to my 8tb zip drive now.
