How close geographically are you and your parents – are you fed off the same electricity supply?
- Terr_ 3y agoThinking of EMPs or Carrington events?
- _a_a_a_ 3y agoMore like an electricity area-distribution fail. If it were EMP or a really major solar event, you probably have bigger concerns.
- Terr_ 3y agoIf it's just two computers doing mutual backups, then having both stop temporarily due to a power outage isn't a big deal: All the data's still there, at rest, and being unable to access the backup server isn't a problem since you have nothing to make/send new data with anyway.
