Back That Thing Up

We don't and we didn't. We should have and our position is that you should. We're from our parents do as I say and not as we do school of thought. Our parents would constantly contradict themselves and we as young brash smart alecs would constantly say to them but Mommy/Daddy you do/say that! Unlike our parents we have to suffer the consequences of our actions. We also don't learn from the mistakes of others as indicated by this very old post:

"Drive one is dead, most likely in some liquidation load and I replaced it with another drive of the exact same model at best buy. Well, that one failed too!" - DTSL Williams (June 12, 2007)

Learn from our mistakes and we should take our own advice. In some ways we are backing up. Our excuse was we replaced the drive with another of the exact same model but NOT from BestBuy but ours actually we couldn't even format it. We've learned through further reading that when you create a "brick" using two (2) terabyte (TB) hard drives to create four (4) terabyte hard drives. Someone in our office who shall remain nameless thought to flip the switch to make the two (2) drives into a single huge drive. It made the information unavailable to us. The fix we learn all too late was to re-initialize the drives rather than formatting them again. That way the information is not lost.

The following articles we recovered or discovered. At the time they were timely. They might be old but the information while not current is at least still true. We're mostly proud of the new story from our family member about their hospital experience. It's funny and informative. We hope you enjoy it!
