3, 2, 1... backup

With our digital lives becoming, if they have not already become essential how we are backing up is so neglected.  I came across this little 'way' or thinking about the concept and answering those questions I hear from time to time.  How often should I backup?  How should I back up? What should I backup on?

Well it seems to be as simple as 3, 2, 1...

3...

Create three copies of your files. The original and 2 copies

2...

have the copies on 2 different forms of media, e.g. hard drive, online, pen drive, CD/DVD etc.

1...

at least one copy should be off site, i.e. away from the original

Steve Jobs on Apple Tablet: "This Will Be The Most Important Thing I've Ever Done."

The following is from the Mac Rumors website, being a unasshamed Apple fan thought it was republishing. :-)

Tech Crunch reports that Steve Jobs has been heard saying that the upcoming Apple tablet "will be the most important thing I've ever done." They report is said to come from multiple independent sources:

We haven’t heard this first hand, but we’ve heard it multiple times second and third hand from completely independent sources. Senior Apple execs and friends of Jobs are telling people that he’s about as excited about the upcoming Apple Tablet as he’s ever been.

Jobs had been previous quoted as being "extremely happy" with the upcoming tablet. 

Apple is holding a media event on January 27th. We'll provide ongoing updates as well as a Spoiler Free page if you would rather wait to watch a video of the event yourself after it is posted
