Things back in 2004 had some pretty big weaknesses.
A manual backup once a month? Easy to lose a month's work. Or more, if you're forgetful.
A backup hard drive in your laptop bag? Easy to get the laptop and the backup drive stolen at the same time.
A network drive you can backup your files to any time you need to? Easy for a virus/cryptolocker to hit your computer and your backup at the same time.
Backing up your smartphone? What's a smartphone?
I'm not saying I like the complexity of modern backups, but there are reasons for it...
- fujinghg 2y agoI'm not sure what you mean by "modern backups". Have you done a "modern restore?". Urgh. I backup once a week. And both the machine and the disk are encrypted. And the disk is entirely physically disconnected so there's no risk of cryptolockering it. And if that does happen, there's a 3 month rotation still on another disk. This is not rocket science.
