Back in the day… way back in the day… it was kinda hard to back up. When I bought my first new computer, it was a 475MHz Compaq, I believe. I don’t even remember the hard drive size. CD burners were still fairly new and going for around $150. Internet access was slow. Computers came with “restore CDs” that wiped your entire drive. In short, there was pretty much no way to backup files. Losing stuff was the way it went. Eh.
Well, times have changed. I now have high speed internet, 2×500GB HDDs (one of which is only for backups), and a DVD burner. And finally, about a month ago, I started backing things up, for real. Oh, sure, before I kinda dabbled in backups. I never really got into using CDs, which only hold a paltry 650-800MB. Who needs that? And I still kinda lost files now and then, but nothing major. Anyway, now I’m using Mozy Home alongside Comodo Backup.
And, yes, I hope I never need them.
