My small business accounting machine is still on Dell XP server.
I am still getting automatic system update from now and then. Back up is
automatically done, daily incremental and monthly whole back up onto my
NAS drive with RAID set up. And then Once a year I back up important files
again on external USB 3 drive which is stored at other place.

When I was working I kept a copy of the important stuff such as pic,
downloaded PDF that is hard to locate,and other things at work. Either on a
cd,dvd or the thumb drive depending on the years past.

It is always a good idea to have off site storage if possiable. I would
have it if I was in business. Probably in a safty deposit box and maybe one
at home and one at the office..

One thing I would not do is to put any info on the web that I did not care
who knew I had it. I think there are several places you can use for storage
on the web either small ammouts for free, or pay for large ammounts.


Hi,
Oh, No, I won't put out anything on web cloud storage. Once in my
working days, a university campus mainframe system took a direct
lightning hit wiping out all data to a point of uselessness. It had
dozens of monster size mass storage subsystems occupying a large floor
space.
For an example operators used to move around on roller blades. Realizing
the extent of system damage we decided to whole system image restore
from a weekly backup kept at off site vault. It took 3 whole days(72
hours) non-stop rstore operations. The system was UPS battery bank with
MG set up. LIghtning strike came down on main AC power buss.
