Just the other day, (even in the times of microfisching) a council office burnt down. ALL the house drawings that they held GONE.<br />Who woulkd have thought?<br />A town burns, servers, photos, you name it ALL gone, the school has NO photos left, the historical socity has NOTHING left. <br />Gone, wiped from the face of the earth. Remember the fires of Black Saturday were so hot that some victims there was nothing left but ash :(Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010538586118008820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905853778596286372.post-33466914372616876452010-08-01T06:59:38.634+10:002010-08-01T06:59:38.634+10:00Some months ago I had a discussion with a leading ...Some months ago I had a discussion with a leading bank in NZ that was thinking of offering all of its customers a virtual safety deposit box. It would enable all customers to store an amount of their personal documents online for a very minimal cost. At this stage it hasn't gone ahead but pushing something like this with a local community or community bank might be a good idea. At some stage the bigger banks will introduce something like this in Australia, its only a matter of time.Arthur Koulianoshttp://info@carbonite.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905853778596286372.post-40772200828997418872009-10-16T11:19:40.961+11:002009-10-16T11:19:40.961+11:00Completely agree - Personally (and I have always d...Completely agree - Personally (and I have always done this) I keep back-ups on email servers and also CD's/USB's distributed around the state. Someone somewhere has a copy that is no more than 1 month old. <br />Yes - perhaps some people call this over the top, but looking back to February I am glad that I have always done this. So much has been lost, so much history, both personal and business and local. <br />Some loss is to be expected - but so many people were not prepared.<br />Thank-you for your input - more than one method in one location is imperativeHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010538586118008820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905853778596286372.post-74591523748813286932009-10-16T10:42:22.303+11:002009-10-16T10:42:22.303+11:00The challenge with using friends and family to sha...The challenge with using friends and family to share your duplicity is that you need to provide them with updated copies of your files regularly. In most circumstances this just isn't possible. If your files are important to you, you should use a combination of backup methods. External drives at friends (if this is your preference) and online backup. Online backup will ensure that the most recent files are also backed up. Hard drives are cheap these days and so is online backup.Arthur Koulianoshttp://www.carbonite.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
