Those are the times that make me feel like maybe I have the occasional social insight. lol. While I get confused by so much that happens, I often feel like I pick up on subtle clues and situations like that. So I feel it’s a mixed-to-fuck-and-hell bag of social genius and social stupidity. It’s confusing. lol
Look at their history and it’s clear they’re not a bot. The definitely transgressed against the social norm in this thread asking four times like that, but they aren’t a bot.
Are you… just talking about stuff like pictures and videos and important documents? I mean, I would have thought the context was clear that that’s not really what’s being discussed. But if not, then sure, if you just have files backed up, then all you need to worry about is making sure you have enough copies of that as you need to not lose it.
Hmm. I’d better explain that.
Anywhere you have data that exists in one place, it is a matter of time before it dies. Who knows how long it’ll be, but it will eventually die.
If you have data in two places, then when it dies in one of those places, as long as it also hasn’t died in the other place, you have one copy and it will eventually die unless you replicate it somewhere else.
And many people find that when they go to read those burnded discs or read that backup external drive - oops, it’s damaged or dead. And then that data is gone.
So for unimportant things, a single backup somewhere is probably fine. But is that backup in your house with your computer that it’s also on? If your house burns, those two places are gone and your data is gone. Is that worth the tiny risk? Up to you. You know how much yo ucare about your data.
If you really want to make sure something valuable like important documents and family pictures, then ideally you want at least one copy offsite. If it’s important, it’s no bad thing to have two copies of it offsite along with perhaps one backup locally so it’s convenient. While you don’t need ten copies of data, it’s surprising how quickly 1-2 copies can go bad at the same time, or one goes bad and you don’t replace it and another goes bad and… quickly you run the risk of data loss.
For a home user who doesn’t want to lose their files,
That’s not the topic at hand, which one might’ve been able to tell from context clues.
two local backups and a cloud one.
That is a pretty good minimal setup. Not disparaging, that’s better than probably 95% if not more like 99% of people do.
Just give me anxiety?
No, you’re the one in a conversation that’s really not about your type of situation.
We’re talking about businesses who have servers - internet servers, internal servers. These run software. They have databases with largre amounts of data. They have programs that have lots of settings, configured in various ways. Servers set up to run services on the LAN and/or WAN and/or across the internet.
On your home computer, you can reinstall Windows, install Office, install Adobe, all the other software you use. And you can take the annoying time to re-customize everything to get it set up to your liking. Then copy all your documents over. You won’t have everything ready-to-go unless you use a fancy backup and restore method (that starts to touch on the subject being discussed here - that restore is not guaranteed unless you’ve tested it. It’s amazing how often that goes wrong), but it’s okay, you have time.
In a corporate environment, if something breaks and you need to restore that data and software, you need it up and running ASAP.
Now, you’d think it would be as simple as getting the hardware, installing the OS, installing the software, and restoring the data - but that’s not necessarily the case. Not the same version of the software? Data formatting might’ve changed. Settings might’ve changed. Does every version of everything work together? Underlying pieces f the system are different? Might cause things to break.
I won’t get into the technical details beyond that, but the point is that we’re not talking about just some pics and docs.
So that’s th egenesis of the misunderstandings here. It’s a wholly different topic than what you’re dealing with.
But yeah, for you, you’ve got a good backup system going. I personally have two different cloud providers for the data I want to keep the most, but that’s not all the pics and such, just for a subset of it.
Does the newly set up environment exactly match the previous? Same software versions?
And when the restoration of that data fails?
Are you being willfully ignorant or obstinate? Or do you not understand the concept that even with the data there, restoration of that data can fail in many ways?
A couple of times I needed to restore sites from backup, it failed. Not because the data wasnt there. Heh
Having the data is useless when the restoration process fails, which it can do due numerous reasons.
5·8 days agoADHD here with AuDHD wife, so please forgive me if this doesn’t help you. The only thing that helps me is breaking down tasks into smaller and smaller bits.
I have absolutely made myself a deal that I will go to the kitchen, turn the light on, and check the dishwasher to see if there’s dirty or clean dishes in there, and then I can go back to my desk and take a break if I need to.
I find that often enough if I can get myself to go to the room that needs the work and to make the barest start, I can almost always do a bit more. Maybe only unload and load the dishwasher, but hey, that’s a load of dishes done if I can do that.
Stuff collects on the floor in part because I’m a wheelchair user and it’s hard to reach the floor. So I have grabbers to help. And again, I will say - get a grabber and pick up a single piece of trash and I can take a break. And maybe I won’t do the whole apartment, but I’ll get a room done.
It works in part because I really will take the break if I need to or want to and I know it. It sometimes doesn’t work because I also know very well that I don’t have to do any of that stuff if I don’t want to.

Just want to say to OP that I remember reading about the racing horse with that name so I get your username and that’s hilarioud.
3·8 days agoLook. If you want it to scan, it’s got to be "‘ppendix’, otherwise there’s an extra syllable there. :)

Yeah, non-sexualized anal is totally better ;-)
Bring the proof. Because it’s a myth.
So, let’s see your documentation please.
Fuck at home.
Sure. Or maybe at a nice hotel.
;-)
Hah. I’ve been involved in more than 60 theatrical productions in my life, and most of my jobs were in some form of IT. I feel seen <3
Eh, I guess. I’ve built a relationship with my AuDHD wife for more than 25 years. :) (Severe ADHD here. I hit high on some of the autism indicators, but zero on the texture/obsession stuff, so who the hell knows. heh)
Weapon of motherly destruction?
When I want to reply and tell someone to fuck off because I disagree with them, I try to remember the pleasant results of NOT doing that, so a reply like this helps me be a better person, thank you <3
As someone who has gotten banned by the admins for stupid reasons that should have been overturned but weren’t… Having a new account is a pain in the ass for a couple of months and/or until you build up karma.
It’s stupidly painful.
