It’s not often that we reference a story from Inside Edition. Tonight there was a story about a Paralympian, whose home was burglarized and of course they took the normal stuff like jewelry, computers, TV’s, and electronics. They also stole 5 external hard drives, which were the only place she had irreplaceable videos of her Olympic journey and a documentary movie that she was working on.
See the video here. Details of the hard drive theft start at 49 second: http://goo.gl/b6iXT6
In order to be FULLY backed up you HAVE to have your data first backed up locally, then it needs to also be backed up to the cloud or off-site storage.
The Golden Triangle of Backups is as follows:
1. Redundant: This means it has to be in TWO places. On your computer and also safely stored on a backup hard drive.
2. Automatic: This means that you don’t do a thing to make the backup run. It happens on it own without a human intervention.
3. Off-Site: This means your data has to be backed up to the cloud (iCloud is not a normal place folks use to back up their computers) or stored off-site in the form of a second hard drive stored at a relatives house or at at your office.
