What is your experience in educating non-tech people about the need and adequate methods for backups? I've found that they'll listen, but not act if it takes several steps and new routines.
- jnadeau 13y agoSo true, I have a hard time just getting people to hook up an external to backup via Time Machine. These are the same people that come to me asking if I can somehow magically recover a file for them or get their pictures back...
- mkempe 13y agoAnother problem I've noticed: many people have no idea how fragile hard drives are, and they keep old ones around for years -- with a precious, unique copy of their early photo libraries... Not only is the hard-drive unused for years, but they sometimes no longer have the necessary connections available (e.g. FireWire) on their latest laptop.
- TenDnal 13y agoYeah, I know what you are talking about, I d wish tech giants started having backward compatibility as a rule when creating any new gadget or a means to store data. Probably there's no ultimate means to save the data now.
