I usually back up everything every 2-3 months. After the backup onto my 2TB Ext HDD i then do a re-format of my PC and then start fresh again and install only what i currently am using.
I never do. And then when my HDD malfunctions I have the worst feeling in the world, and swear from now on I'll backup. But then I never do!! lol
I have it set to backup every 10 days, although I normally back it up every 50 or so so I don't full my backup disk fast.
can i just say this as a rule ... one of the first lessons i was taught was to backup of course at the time it was normal programming in basic before the days of machine code (where one number wrong and the whole program crashed ) but still it should be second nature to back up a system ... am i the only one who knows the grandfather father son theory ??
yeah i guess you are the only one who knows the grandfather father son theory, anyways i do back up my private data like music, movies, softwares, images and all, for work its located in more than one source and i can get it when ever i want to so its safe too,
well you are right mike nothing is safe when Newgod is around Newgod God of Hacking just kidding man,,
