NightmareFarm Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Yes. I usually save on two save slots and frequently upload my PS4/PS5 data to the cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akun Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 It's too much trouble, and given that I couldn't afford to buy a lot of TB-sized external hard disks, it's challenging for me to back up whole libraries of game save files, especially when they're several GB-sized. These things built up over time, and I don't usually have much use for them since I'm a "play it once and forget about it" kind of guy for most games.

The Blackangel Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I save a decent portion of my files on microSD cards often. I have a lot of DDL's and documents on my comuputer, so I need to keep a copy in case my computer crashes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 When I don't want to lose essential data or information, I quickly save them on my email as draft. It will enable me have access to that sensitive information provided that my email stays intact with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZandraJoi Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Our computer came with One Drive but we prefer Carbonite. It’s an American company that offers an online backup service available to Windows & macOS users. It backs up everything. It is great for when you get a new computer. Also beneficial for when you lose a file, they keep them for so many days. Backs up files, pictures, anything stored on your computer. I love having the peace of mind. I honestly don’t care for “The Cloud”. I have had nothing but hassle utilizing them. Some like it but I prefer Carbonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make use of Cloud as well. I think that is the easier place to save data as you will have enough space to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting - it's the first I've ever heard of Carbonite or at least, I think so? I'll definitely check it out.

You probably should prioritize it - less headache in case something happens. ZandraJoi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grungie Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I have thinks locally on my individual computers, but I also have a file server for backups, and also for things I use between computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Yes. I back up my data every few months for safe keeping in case I have to re-install Windows or even if I get a new PC all together. I have stuff I can't afford to lose such as website backups, so I definitely try to stay on top of backing up my data on a somewhat regular basis.

Shortie Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 With my PC recently giving me some issues that would have resulted in me losing a lot of data and things I wanted to keep if I hadn't of had it backed up, I would have lost a lot of stuff. I ensure that I always backup anything I do not want to lose as frequently as I can so that if something does go wrong, I don't lose anything of importance.

What do you use to backup your PC - cloud storage or external drives or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debashis Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Yes, I always backup my data. The small files are taken care by OneDrive. The big files, basically the setup files of games, are moved to my external hard disk drive so save space on my computer. Whenever I feel the need to install a game, I can plug my external hard disk drive, install the game and plug it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensonplays Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Yea, I usually keep 2 backups of important data, and 1 backup of semi-important data. One local to a separate drive, one cloud, for important stuff, and just cloud for semi-important. It's nice that G Workspace allows me to have 2TB of space, which helps with that.
