I remember uttering that very phrase last thursday, today my entire harddrive crashed.... I had a pretty decent backup of my old files, and most of it I can restore from 3rd party sources except an assignment I have to write for tuesday next week. (10 days) So bye bye my prewritten 3000 words (the assignment is 6000). At least I managed to do 4000 words today, hopefully I have time for the last 2k in the coming weeks. So kids, take some fucking backup.....   | ||

Also, there are programs which can save a list of all your currently installed stuff, (which you can generate yourself with some programming experience), and similar things so you're never completely screwed. Dropbox is really preferable for just casual storage. By the way, I know English might not be your native language, but the correct phrase would be, "Real man don't back up." To "back up" is a verb itself. | ||

I lost 3 terabytes a few months ago. Unfortunately, at that scale, making a backup requires another 3tb hard drive. | ||

But yes, back up your shit. | ||

Like game saves and homework. It's slower, more complicated to set up, and doesn't let you upload without installing a client. And unless you plan on storing sensitive information on the cloud, which is a stupid idea already, you will have no problems with Dropbox. Nice referral link too. | ||

 Good luck with the assignment. And consider using google docs, no more clicking the save button all the time. | ||

I know at work I use to back up our file servers, because idiots keep deleting stuff and I'd have to go restore it. "Hey can you restore that file, I deleted it for the 3rd time." | ||
