When did you last backup your data?

As it happens - about 3 hours ago!
(smug or what... )

my macbook is continually backed up via time machine to an external drive and a NAS drive. I take monthly backups of my NAS to external drive as well.

Mine backs up everything twice a day to another drive via Freefilesync and also my laptop 15 mins after I start it, great useful utility

Both ours and the tablet back up to networked array....

Doesn't help a jot when some thieving ba$tard nicks the lot.......

I email myself anything important, and that stays on my service providers servers, (as well as my local machine) also have dropbox, bt cloud, and ms one drive available.
but then again I still write a dvd or memory stick too.

its not if it fails, its when it fails
and most or the automated ones will be compromised if the original is deleted or overwritten

No need to back up the posts me thinks.

I back up my work records to a USB stick every 4 months or so. I know, that's proper slack. My laptop isn't on the Internet so it's not easy to back up automatically.
