A must-read on WorldBackupDay
– all gone forever. Sadly, I don’t have to. As I write, I’m hitting the ‘Save’ button every 30 seconds; my document is simultaneously backed up to a USB stick, the cloud and my hard drive. I have every reason to be so cautious – I’ve learned the hard way.
“We use technology to help us do what’s important to us: checking how many likes we got on our latest Instagram post, browsing the internet for recipe ideas or doing the latest Wordle,” says Blythe. “But it also helps us reminisce – think about the popularity of Facebook Memories or sharing your yearly Spotify Wrapped. This stuff helps us to create new social bonds with people that we connect to and give meaning to our lives and identities.
“Regularly check your backups to make sure they’re still running and that the data you’re expecting to be present is there,” recommends Blythe – you can do this with a few clicks in both Google Drive and iCloud. And folders are your friend – organising your data by date, for example, means it’s less likely to get lost in the ether.”
