Article Response 23 (Don't Forget the Backups)

Article

In this article, the author talks about his setup for backing up his laptop data. It's a quick read but the info is valuable. Everyone should have some sort of backup off their data because regardless of how much control you think you have or how unnecassary it may seem in the moment, there'll come a time when you wish you had done it and by then it will be too late.

One thing I like about this is that he shows, by example, how all backups and backup systems are not created equally. When you mention backups, most people immmediately think just duplicating the data and calling it a day but one aspect that gets left out of the equation is data encryption.

His setup has encryption built into it from the getgo and then he explains how the presence or lack thereof of encryption affects what other data backup services he uses. After reading this, I've decided to revisit my setup and improve some parts that I didn't even know were lacking before I read this. You learn something new everyday. 

Thanks for reading and as always, all comments, critiques and questions are highly appreciated. Here's a link to the previous article response.
