Backups Galore

Call me paranoid, but I like to back things up. I've lost too many files over the years not to anymore. This is where Time Machine comes in handy. I've already mentioned how easy it is to set up, but I went a step further. Not only does my entire machine back up every hour to my external hard drive, I've just set up my linux machine to back up my development folder each night. It's the same schedule I was using previously - Incremental back up every night, and a full backup once a week, while keeping 3 full backups, and 18 incremental backups.

My linux machine, while getting much less use these days is still an effective web server, and an effective backup machine. Not only does it back itself up, it also backs up mine, and my wifes machine. Hopefully we won't need them, but you never know!

Backing up is fun!
