How often do you back up?

[mike475]

I'm interested to see how often people back up. If you dont, why not?

I do a full image back up onto an external hard drive once every 3 - 5 days.

[LostProphets]

As you're a coder you would have to, but i dont back up at all,
My most important stuff is on the external hard-drive i have.
And thats like MMO's and stuff.
I have 100+ gb left which is fine.

[Jordy]

I have software (Memeo autobackup) which automatically updates and adds any file on my computer to my external hard-drive.

I also use software which automatically backs-up very important data files to my memory stick when that's connected and I also backup a proportion of my files (Excluding downloads and pictures) to my iPod every few days.

Every month I put all the family photos on a DVD Disk and I think that's it. All the computers in my house automatically back-up to the same external HD on the Network so it's all easily accessible. Considering backing up online soon too, because if we have a house fire that could wipe out my ipod, memory stick, computers, external HD and disks.

You've got to prepared for all situations, since my mum lost her work project with some XP Error we've been super careful and excessive backing-up.

[Stephen!]

I don't back up. All the stuff I download goes straight onto my second hard drive. So yeah, if that went i'd loose everything.

But it's pretty hard and expensive to backup 1.5TB

[Misawa]

I simply do not.

[Independent]

I have an external system which backs up all of my user data once every day (Weekdays: 1630 Weekends: 2300)

[Zaub]

Not as often as I should :P

[bo$$]

I don't because I don't give two *****.

[xxMATTGxx]

I don't back up because I don't have any external hard drives to back onto. But when I do, I shall start backing up every so often. :)

[Recursion]

Buy a Timecapsule matt! ;)

I backup IMPORTANT files every so often.

[Aces]

I don't because I don't give two *****.
Instead of coming onto the forum acting cool, go outside and get a beating ;)

Also, I usually back up every month or so.

[xxMATTGxx]

I'm actually looking into one of them but iPhone 3G first ;]

[Hitman]

I don't, I have files on my external HDD and I'll just hope that it doesn't let me down. :P

[Josh-H]

Every few minutes thanks to time machine. :)

[N!ck]

I have a second copy of some of my music and that's it. I have too much stuff to sustainably backup really.

[Recursion]

Every few minutes thanks to time machine. :)

That isn't classed as backup.

Backing up means moving it to another drive.

[xxMATTGxx]

That isn't classed as backup.

Backing up means moving it to another drive.

Time Machine is a back up, he could have it hooked up to an external hard drive or even Time Capsule.

[Leetzgirl]

I dont use back up tbh.

Been lucky so far,

[Jordy]

I don't back up because I don't have any external hard drives to back onto. But when I do, I shall start backing up every so often. :)You can always back-up using the traditional ways on disks or ipods.

[darkchicken101]

I have copies of my data spread around but nothing is really backed up because I don't have anywhere to put it.

[joshuar]

Got a copy of most of my stuff on my desktop upstairs, but that's all.

Don't have the time or money to backup regulary.

[Josh-H]

That isn't classed as backup.

It backs everything up to an external usb hard drive.

[iJoe]

all my music is on my ipod, thats it really :s

[The Professor]

Never :( Considering I've lost everything on my PC like 3 times now, you'd have thought I'd have learnt :P

[Jamesy]

I do it one lump every few months... years... whenever I feel like it...

[Judge Judy]

I don't backup due to no External Hard Drive things, and I do not want to spend money on disks and use my iPod because I could save up for a hard drive, and it wastes precious music space :P

[Jamesy]

I have 4, very badly labelled DVD's full of my downloads, music, videos, games, utilities and other important information.

[Recursion]

I can't backup 40GB worth of Music, 80GB worth of Movies/download :[

[iUnknown]

If I had an external hard drive I would. I don't know where I can find a huge one from. The problem is I probably need atleast 150 GB. Anyone want to recommend something? (Windows)

[Decode]

I only back up my websites, i dont backup my music. I lost all my music once, but i managed to get it back off my ipod :P

Er.. excuse me?
Coming onto the forum acting cool?
First of all; I am cool.
Secondly; How the hell am I coming onto the forum acting cool?
He said "If you don't, why not?" Bloody moron. I answered. I do not backup anything on my computer because I DONT CARE. If I lost all my files, I DONT CARE.

Instead of attempting to insult me when I've been here longer then you, go outside and get a beating :) Thanks.

Firstly, You think your cool, your nowhere near.
Secondly, above
I think that's all I'll have to say.
PS. I hope your proud you been on a forum longer then me, something you wanna tell your children, right?

[You]

I only back up my music & pictures and downloads :D

[blanky12!]

I don't need to, my pc is always full of S***T so I never need to, but just incase if anything is importent, I normally jut put them on my extra drives.

[Hypertext]

I backup once a week. Once I get my MP and Time Capsule I'll backup once a day /w Time Machine.

[bo$$]

lol, you think I give a toss what someone on Habbox Forum thinks of me? I'm not the type of person whos gunna sit here and slit myself because someone tried to diss how "uncool" I am. You don't know me and you never will.

PS. I hope you're proud that you tried insulting me when all I was doing was answering the question asked in the original post. I'm sure you'll be writing that one in your diary, right? :rolleyes:

Quit posting against me. Your original post was stupid, not to mention wasn't needed at all? and ^ post was just dumb period.

I understand that people get desperate while trying to insult someone so they try and use everything that they can think of, no matter how pety it is, but please, don't. :)

Have a good day.

edit; +rep for the effort though

Apparently, as you do keep responding, you do.

I'm not sure about the other part, if you want me to stop responding to you, stop posting more about this, It's that easy! ;)

[bo$$]

Just because I respond doesn't mean I care about what you think of me... it just means that you were talking crap so I'm proving that you looked like an idiot for insulting me about why I don't backup my files... :rolleyes:

@the stop responding thing - I don't really care if you keep responding. I was saying it to benefit you since every post you've made so far has had no point to it and is just plain dumb. You can post to your hearts desire if that's your thing.

the part where you said you think your cool, set that record not the fact that you keep on posting

@my posts are equally good/bad as yours.

Not at all.. Mine have some basis to it and I'm defending myself. Yours are nothing but garbage since the whole thing started with you trying to insult me.. lol..


Anyways, I'm not gunna post anymore (and I suggest that you don't even reply to this) since this thread will probably get locked for going off topic.

Just know that next time, instead of cracking your fingers and being quick to jump the gun and insult someone (for answering the question :rolleyes: ) make sure you don't..

Untrue, you my friend arent very good at this communication thing are you?

I always have the last say.

I wont bother with you anymore.

[Tomm]

All computers in my house have a full system state + all files backup taken to external hard drives connected to my server using Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers - its all automatic and in the background.

Time Machine sorts everything automatically for me. Lost everything once, and I don't want that to happen again.

[Plank]
