jwz: Classic backup advice
Merlin Mann | Jan 21 2008
This forum question about a comment I made on the most recent MacBreak Weekly reminds me that I mention jwz's advice on backup often enough that it's worth reposting the URL (as well as making sure credit goes where it's due). On the one hand, his advice could hardly be simpler (that's one reason I like it), but how many of us have taken the time to put a mature backup regime in place? If you value your data, can't tolerate downtime, and are casting about for a thorough solution, consider giving this a try.

The first sunc to s3Submitted by martind on January 22, 2008 - 9:04am.
That first sync is a killer, but after that if you use the automated backup that is built into JungleDisk, it is more than worth it. I have my home machine, my work machine and my laptop all backing up to S3 now and it is a breeze. If you set the automatic backup to go before you go to bed, you can stop it in the morning, then start it again the next night. That's how managed my first big upload. » POSTED IN:
