wish I had of known that

Check with your local council - give them a call and they should let you know.

I very rarely backup my stuff. Firstly I don't have too much stuff, secondly I am just lazy and possibly being stupid.

That being said, I haven't had any hardware failures... yet.

 

[Dragon2010]

I have a three stage back-up system.
1) All my files go to a secure cloud storage.
2) All my files get backed-up automatically to a media server in my network.
3) Every fortnight, I do a fully manual back-up of everything.

Don't know about up there but here it's illegal before 7am.

Yep, its the same in Brisbane. Have at em Rhino!

Related point. I mowed my front lawn at 8:00pm last night. Weird experience mowing in the dark but on the upside I didnt sweat my arse off and I didnt miss any spots

How many hard drives do you have? And are they USB powered or desktop hard drives?

Well the cloud isn't a hard-drive (Obviously). The media storage is a 2TB powered central unit (Think Time Capsule) and the external is a Western Digital USB powered drive.

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

On the subject of cloud storage, I saw an interesting post on Facebook from a police page yesterday.

A few weeks back, someone had broken into a house and stolen a whole heap of gear, including an i-pad.

A couple of weeks after the burglary the i-pad had backed itself up to the owners cloud storage.

When the owner looked at the files, there were a few new photo's included and one of those was a selfie of some random Woman that the owners had never seen before.

Needless to say, the police would now like to speak to this Woman in regards to the theft of the i-pad.

lol.

Apparently this is becoming quite a common thing with stolen i-pad's and i-phones.

who'd you see?

going to take mrs muzby next week but haven't decided on who to see yet..

Was going to recommend Kevin Bridges

Conjunctivitis.com, now there's a site for sore eyes.

Yeah the Sketch show was awesome.

I'm thinking I'll probably head to see Kevin Bridges next week.

So i'll say the same here. Hilarious comedian, one of the best of recent years IMO

afternoon

 

[God-King Dean]

It is after noon. You are correct.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

might go for a swim soon

 

[Twizzle]

2 k swim for me

 

[Rhino_NQ]

im horrible over distance in the water, 5km run no worries, 20km ride yeah, 2km row no problem. Jump in the water and im stuffed after 50m

 

[Misanthrope]

exactly the same here.. For me, it's called a baby wanting to start the day at 4am..

I'm relatively confident that I don't have a baby out there who is subconsciously waking me up. I'm still Facebook friends with all but two of the people I've slept with, and those two both have my phone number and know where I live.

might go for a swim soon

Oh man, jealous! It's finally warming up here, but the nearest decent beach is adjacent to Vietnam in Hainan.

I've been considering getting cloud storage for a while but I don't really feel secure knowing my stuff is floating around online that's potentially open to hackers!

Encryption my friend, encryption. Data is in very safe hands if you do it right. ie. Pin to access data. I have my documents going across my iPad, iPhone and Laptop. If I want to access the cloud, enter a pin-code.

I keep Uni work on there, work documents and a few other things.

Do you use one of those free cloud storage providers?

No, I pay for mine.
