One in the safe. One in the Desk Drawer. One sent to a friend. Running Backups of photos and videos? Same thing. <br />RD<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-55357874135993969722022-07-07T14:24:10.633-07:002022-07-07T14:24:10.633-07:00Yes, I bought a 4 Terabyte, external drive for bac...Yes, I bought a 4 Terabyte, external drive for backup from my new Macbook Pro, $99.00. I plug it in once a week, or more often, and it updates automatically. It's an actual spinning drive, SSDs are much more money why spend the extra.Pat H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18297461069687246149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-51042997950422811432022-07-06T22:00:30.507-07:002022-07-06T22:00:30.507-07:00Oh believe me, I knew was making a most idiotic mi...Oh believe me, I knew was making a most idiotic mistake.

It never ceases to AMAZE me how little people think of that when storage is soooo cheap.<br /><br />I use Carbonite for cloud and have like 5 local copies! I am sure I am overdoing it but digital oblivion scares the hell out of me. Family pics, videos, etc. are too priceless to risk.

My new/old--ie, refurbed--27 inch, 1 terrabyte iMac is supposed to arrive tomorrow, and I can not WAIT.Mike Hendrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01361827989573910105noreply@blogger.com
