      @techdisk42 Everything is replaceable. If it is not, then it was lost for some reason or another.

          @techdisk42 You should back it up when you first get the core stuff installed. All else is replaceable.

            @policeman It's still nice to have copies of projects and save files backed up somewhere, though.

            @policeman not really... pictures, long documents that were never printed... those cant be replaced in their original form. and you need those in their original form.

                      @techdisk42 because all your real life friends are busy doing stuff with eachother and you feel the need to stay connected to people. You realize this is common ground so you come on here to cure your craving for social contact. Oerall, you're just a lonely guy who needs an excuse to relate to other people, thus, ponies. http://ur1.ca/8v7a6

      @techdisk42 I set up a cron job to automatically back up my files every week.

      @ponydude I thought about daily, but then I realized I don't do enough often enough to justify it.

      @ponydude Maybe I'll give it a look. I've just been making a tarball on my external HDD. <.<

        @scribus Also consider rsync, though the arguments it takes are a little tricky to get right, at least initially. Well worth it for the flexibility power it has, though.

      @ponydude That makes sense. Will have to look into that, might be more convenient for me.
