#WordWeavers 28: How often do you back up your work?
AHAHAHAHA!!!
I work on a Mac with three time machine backup drives—two directly connected, one networked—and keep my live work on Dropbox, *and* manually rsync a snapshot of my live work to a pair of SSDs (alternating, only one plugged in at a time). Also, retired TM drives get mothballed intact.
Yes, I've lost work from time to time over the past 40 years. How did you guess?
