My hdd died over the weekend

Open

I just wanted to share this... My 1TB hdd died on saturday. Yet I didn't lose anything, cause I have a sane backup plan :-). I use sync cloud services like dropbox for the stuff that I actively use and I have a NAS with 2 hdds in raid1 for the less used files, plus I still burn stuff rarely used like multimedia to dvds.

Make backups people, because you never know when an hdd will die on you!

Well the important stuff gets saved to dropbox. And I also have many files twice, one copy in the desktop PC and another in the nb.

You can get 25gb additional Dropbox space on ebay for just a few dollars…
Unfortunately man of my HDDs died over the time - always make backups, can't say it often enough :D

Luckily I have 1TB One Drive space, because I took a subscription on Microsoft Office 365 (Because students get 4 years for 75€). I just put all my stuff (Like original copies of games I have bought in the past, favorite movies and ofcourse school work) on One Drive.

I also have dropbox, but I use that for Teamwork stuff.
