   Backups * Backups * Backups

   Because if you don't have backups, it's not a question of "if" your data will get lost, but "when." Remember, data loss is like a bad salsa dancer - no bueno!

     @nixCraft I have 3 HDD, 2 SSD and many USB flash drives and I'd hate it when my data get lost but there is simply no way for me to backup them, in tunisia, it is impossible to pay for a cloud storage solution, unless of course one has a means to export money, and that's near impossible for tunisians, and storage servers are waaaay too expensive for persons that work on tunisian jobs

     @nixCraft My laptop completely died a few weeks ago. Virtually bricked. Had to get a replacment. Thankfully, I had a complete backup of my home dir. While I still had to do a reinstall of the OS, all my important stuff was right there.
