My desktop machine is now 2 yrs old & has an SSD for immediate stuff ; |
8 |
it also has an HHD with 500 GB available. |
9 |
Files I'm working on are backed daily to HHD & to USB stick ; |
10 |
once/week I use a script in Krusader to copy everything in ~ or /etc |
11 |
which has changed during that week onto HHD & USB |
12 |
& also to an off-site system I have I/net access to ; |
13 |
I also run a simple Bash script to rsync system files to an HHD copy. |
14 |
Every 9 mth I do a full back-up of everything in ~ or /etc , |
15 |
of which I keep at least 1 copy off-site & another on CD (in future DVD) |
16 |
for when the Earth's poles change & everything magnetic is wiped out (grin). |
