Backups On Your Mac: A Practical Approach

It’s true - there are only two kinds of people in the modern digital world:

• Those who have suffered data loss as the result of a hard drive crash…

• Those who will.

Backups - few things about working with computers come close to being as important as backups. If you are lucky, you learn your lesson (painful as it may be) about backups the first time you watch hours / days / weeks / months or even years worth of work, fun, family memories, etc. disappear into the ether when your hard drive fails.

It’s unlikely that there is a person out there who doesn’t understand that they should be doing regular backups of their most important data. Those same also understand that they should be getting more exercise, eating better, stop smoking (among other things), but I’d be willing to bet they don’t do those things either.
