how do you know if a backup is dead (even if you have multiple copies)

  • Versioning
    My backups are incremental (Mac TimeMachine and Arq)
    If I find a file is corrupted, I can restore an earlier version

    •
    My 8 year old HDD died

  • I use Arq Premium for cloud storage (1TB)

    •
    Does anyone else arrange their data in a way that protects against the inevitability of a windows install failing??

  • I’m not a Windows user but my data is sync’d between two different devices
    If/When one device fails, I fall back to the other device
    Also, my data is backed up to the cloud

    •
    The 3-2-1 rule

  • Yes, I follow the 3-2-1 backup rule
    1st copy is my working data
    2nd copy is to an external HDD
    3rd copy is offsite to a cloud site

    My backup copies are incremental, using a backup service (Arq)

    I also have device backup, with my data auto-sync’d between devices (Mac and iPad)
