A while ago, I wrote a piece about the need to backup your home computers. After tweaking the full-backup script on my desktop today, I thought it would be useful to update the information.
At the office, your IT guys probably back up your computer for you or force you to store critical files on a file server that they back up. I'll write later about how the Institute does backup at a corporate level. The concern of this posting is backing up personal computers. What are you going to do if your hard disk starts making a funny clicking sound, then stops spinning? Or when your notebook drops out of your hands and tumbles down a flight of stairs?
