I always consider any lap/desk top device as 'disposable'; when I am 'connected', my auto-saves and final saves are synced to online storage, and if I am out-and-about, I can double-save to an encrypted usb memory stick or a locker on my phone.

- jonknee 8y agoWell if you were needing the recovery feature of older models you were already in an expensive situation...

- leonroy 8y ago> An MBP is a mighty expensive disposable. True - to a person paying for one themselves. For a company though a MBP is a negligible cost compared to the employee using it - or the data on it.
- manmal 8y agoExactly. I use Arq with Amazon Drive for daily incremental backups at noon, which is at times bothersome, because it needs a lot of CPU for encryption and verification. But in case my MBPro is stolen, I will be up and running again ~24h later (depending on network bandwidth) with max a few hours of work lost. Time machine over network is not a great option for me because of my workplace situations, but I could carry a small disk or even a thumbdrive for extra backups - those have gotten so cheap recently.
