Why are normies this stupid? It's almost as if they, just like most animals, are incapable of planning ahead and instead just living for the day.

Ok, good blog

Normie just use cloud storage. Cheapskate nerds are the ones who are screwed when they don't make local backups.

Heh, look at those plebs saving important data.
If you couldn't format your hard drives RIGHT NOW without a second thought then you are still a prisoner of your own data.

What's the point of backing it up if a EMP will wipe it all out anyway?

I really don't know

>mom has tons of important data on her computer
>It's a piece of shit, over ten years old (HDD is newer though), full of windows crapware and could break at any moment
>A lot of the data she's got on there involves a bank lien against her ex's house which if it all disappeared would put her $200k in the hole at least (money she lent him in the first place and he's (not) paying off, hence the lien)
>Hey mom you should backup everything you have on your computer and keep it in multiple places
>I don't have time for that crap
>I'll do it when I feel like it
>I know I need to, but I'm not doing it now

Can't fix people that want to be retarded

People don't expect that bad things will happen to them.

they don't do it deliberately. the automated backup systems do it such as icloud. we can thank such automated systems for being able to cum to jlaw's asshole and alison brie's pussie btw.

I just throw all my important files on MEGA. Its good enough for me

>I just throw all my important files on a cloud storage that has a reputation of being shut down and deleted without recovery

When did MEGA shut down?
>inb4 Megaupload

>made by the same guy
>named the same
>...
>has no relation between them

This. I told my sister she should get an external disk for backup but she was like "umm don't laptops last for years anyway" and "how would it break all of a sudden". I'll laugh the day she loses her collection of millions of photos.

Only if you're a retarded piece of shit.

This isn't exclusive to backups. Just look at how badly prepared citizens were for the hurricanes... I mean they live in an area with frequent hurricanes yet most people don't give a fuck about preparing for it and those who do are laughed at and viewed as paranoid fuckers.

Google photos has been a godsend for automatically backing up photos from my devices.

So, what backup strategy does Sup Forums recommend?

Google, Microsoft and/or Amazon are the official neo Sup Forums backup solutions.

put a rope around your neck and jump off a table

>be 20 year old college student
>have no data worth encrypting or protecting or backing up at all, nothing more important than porn and memes
95% of the discussion of pros and cons of shit on Sup Forums has no relevance to my life

whould you risk the fap folder?

I was just looking up reviews of portable harrddrives on amazon and all the 1 stars are just "MY DAUGHTER HAD ALL OF HER UNIVERSITY WORK ON THIS AND IT DIED, NOW SHE HAS TO REDO IT ALL, DO NOT BUY!"
Kind of hilarious tbqh

yeah well most people don't seem to understand you're supposed to keep two copies of the files so if one device fails you can replace it and restore from backup
