They go down and you lost everything. Time it takes to upload to the cloud may take days and days.
Use a USB drive or slave one in and use it.
The 3-2-1 Backup StrategyQuote:
A 3-2-1 strategy means having at least 3 total copies of your data, 2 of which are local but on different mediums (read: devices), and at least 1 copy offsite, (in the cloud).
We’ll use "Kitten.jpg" as an example for this scenario.
- "Kitten.jpg" lives on your computer at home, it was a picture that you took of your cat in 2012. That’s one copy of the data.
- You also have an external hard drive that you use for backing up your computer, if you’re on a Mac, you might be using it as a Time Machine drive. As part of its backup process, that external hard drive will back up "Kitten.jpg". That’s a second copy, on a different device or medium.
- In addition that external hard drive, you also have an online backup solution. The online backup continuously scans your computer and uploads your data offsite to a datacenter. "Kitten.jpg" is included in this upload, and that becomes the third copy of your data.
Thanks for pointing out that srategy.......
No problem. :)
I have 3 USD hdds I use for backups, 2 of which are off site at all times.
That is 16 plus years of Family Genealogy work I would hate to have 600 GB of data to just disappear.
The importance to you, of your data, dictates how many backups you have.
Notice I said nothing of my kids, brothers and sisters or cousins that have copies either.
True image has also a hidden partition? or section option. Lost it when i had a hdd-problem with overlapping partitions!
i can see it being present(as signal) on the actual fresh hdd.
