bigred Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 here's the thing. all of the files I need / want are not stored locally. it's ALL on servers. only the OS and apps reside on my PC itself (hence the reason I was getting away with a pair of 74gb 15k scsi drives for so long). Â Â the servers are all cloned at least 2 times over (some of the corporate ones are 4 deep). ONE of each of them is backed up to tape twice a day (no sense in backing up the same data twice), but it's a cycle (just in case server 1 has issues that aren't on server 2 for example). Â Â so how does this scheme fit into the poll options? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_lag Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I back up things which I would immediately miss if I so happened to lose them. Such things as my FF bookmarks, IRChat settings, schoolwork/projects, personal/corporate documentations ect. So my backups range from never being backed up to being backed up daily, so I just voted 'every 3 months' just because.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fire_storm Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Well I keep all my software, documents on 1 hardrive, and videos/movies on another hardrive and keep windows installed on another hardrive. I save all important work on hardrives that do not have windows installed on them. So if windows goes corrupt or stops working I can just formate and re-install xp and when xp is installed I just load all the backup software from the other hardrive to the hardrive with xp installed on it. With really important software and videos I usually make a second copy by burning them to CDs/DVDs and store them someware in my room. Other than that I don't gost images of my xp hardrive and store it some ware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenoX Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 All I ever do is browse and play a little bit of World of Warcraft so there's nothing important enough for me to back anything up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
