    You’d be surprised at how many tech literate folks don’t properly backup even if they know how important it is.

      The only photos I backup are my certificates.
      Rest are non-essential and don’t deserve more than one copy.

      I recently lost quite a few videos, moving a partition to the left and it didn’t matter enough for me to consider backing them up next time.

      The source codes I make however, apart from having them on gitlab, I am also considering keeping a separate drive to store them.
      With patches to other projects, stored as diffs instead of storing the whole project.
