- Brajeshwar 6y agoMy suggestion was one of the convenient tips of the proverbial iceberg in the world of backups and redundancies. Today, I'd be astonished if one lost their devices and loses any data along with it. Personally, all my devices are endpoints or tools. For instance, if I lost my phone, it will take me a few hours or a day/two at best to get back to where I was. The same goes for my other devices (desktops, laptops). In the most critical situation, say, I lost my phone while traveling, but lucky my wife's phone is in-tact, I can pick up hers and go through my contacts (we sync our contacts two ways). I can then login to anything anywhere by getting to her Password Manager, which fortunately has a copy of mine. I might need to ask her to authenticate it for me. I strongly feel that one should have a pattern and system of redundancies and be independent of the devices one uses. I'm still discovering and learning a lot; not yet the best, but I'm happy I started quite a while back.
- crossroadsguy 6y agoNo, I won't. I will still have data on rsync.net, b2, Tarsnap, borgbase, some even in Dropbox. Also, the weekly backup to my external hard disk. That card is more like regular/scheduled backup sink (encrypted data) like those cloud destinations I mentioned above to help with laptop malfunctioning or just dumping some data on it quickly when I want to take it with me (that's rare though).
