I do have a backup system in place and I also test the backups on a regular basis. An end result of spending too many years in IT where I dealt with too many people who lost pretty much everything due to not having any backups or never testing to make sure that the backups were working.

Yes! And I’ll never understand when people say it takes too much time. What are they doing that it’d be a process they’d have to initiate themselves every time? Only one of my 3 backups is a manual process and that’s because I keep it on a thumb drive that stays with my Uncle. He brings it to me whenever he knows he’s gonna come over and stay awhile. It’s my least up to date backup, but I think some backup is better than no backup.
Yeah I was taught to test my backups too. I do so often. We can’t get people to backup so there’s no way in hell they’d ever test their backups if they had them.
