Find Your State of Mind

Backup your data!

For small files, such as word documents (for essay, ‘mémoire’, or work groups), I usually copy the file on my hard disk, on an usb key, and I send it to myself on my email. This way, the email server keeps a copy of it.

For bigger files… well I’m in trouble. I know I need to make copies of my photos for example. I have a LOT of travel photos, and my hard disk is very old. So if it crashes, I will be mad at myself for not having done anything about it.

I need to burn them, but I don’t have a DVD burner, so it would take a long time.

The future of data saving, according to me, is to use web servers the same way as I use them for small files. The problem, again, is privacy. I don’t really want to put my photos online, and even if I don’t make them public, I would always fear someone could have access to them
