It is important to have your files backed-up to the cloud, and on extra hard drives at home or the office. \u00a0Ideally a RAID array of some kind so you don&#8217;t rely on a single hard drive. I want my data backed-up on a RAID array with redundant hard drives. For this, I use Drobos with dual redundancy. It is crucial to have off-site back-ups of your files that are continually updated as you work.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/secure.backblaze.com\/r\/00dot6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Backblaze<\/a>\u00a0is so easy to use, and so affordable, that there is just no excuse.<\/p>\n<p>There are a\u00a0number of things I have in place for my overall workflow to make sure I don&#8217;t sadly cry <a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/my-hard-drive-died-what-should-i-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when a hard drive dies<\/a>\u00a0on me.

And if you don&#8217;t have Backblaze, you should most definitely have something similar in place. The monthly cost is so low that it&#8217;s just willful stupidity to not have an online back-up system in place, and risk data loss.<\/p>\n<p>Now, while I am a fan of Backblaze, there is a definite measure of\u00a0self-interest in mentioning all this again now. They currently have a refer-a-friend promotion in place.

I&#8217;d like that. And I am quite sure you&#8217;d also like the peace of mind\u00a0knowing that your data is safer than it has ever been. Check it out &#8230; and make us both happy.
