I don’t get greedy for speed or lazy and put it off to tomorrow. So now I use what I call the 3-2-1 Backup Plan and I stick to it religiously. I lost two weeks’ worth of writing and research.

And then the hard drive failed on my desktop computer. Each day I kept telling myself that I would turn it back on and go watch television or do something while the program caught up and copied my local data up to the Dropbox servers. While I’ve been using Dropbox since its inception, I turned off the syncing feature on my desktop because of “the need for speed” when it came to working. It was my own fault and I accepted full responsibility for just being plain lazy. Me, the “tech guy,” got burned last year and lost data. Since most of my research is now paperless, there is even more of an incentive to create a backup plan and to stick to it! Use the 3-2-1 Backup Plan I’ve always worried about “losing” years of genealogy research, whether it was hard copies or digital data. See disclosure statement below.Ĭlick HERE to sign up now!
