The techy way with personal rsync backups is to do an every-five-minutes snapshot so you can go back in time to any five-minute period. For added paranoia, save this on a remote hosted server, or private website, in addition to having your own computer using a RAID configuration.  |
I've read Dropbox is good about not making duplicate copies of stuff too. They just have so little storage and are so expensive if you need to buy more.
Thanks for the explanation about rsync.
It's funny but I've never lost any data just saving stuff to a flash drive (and now I'm becoming psycho about this back-up stuff!).
Oh well. It's good feeling like my stuff is safe too.
