Save Your Data Week! Backing Up Your Data by Using 5 Methods (External Hard Drives)

Readers,

Good morning! Here is one of my least favorite methods of backing up my data....external hard drives. I have lost a wealth of data on external hard drives! In fact, I dislike external hard drives so much that I often discourage my family members from purchasing such items. :)

However, I understand that many people like external hard drives. If they work for you, use them. However, I choose not to use these drives. :)

Save Your Data Week! Backing Up Your Data by Using 5 Methods (Cloud Computing Drives)

Readers,

Another method that I use for saving data is the CLOUD! To be specific, I use the Google cloud to back up my data! I have definitely consumed the Google Juice, because I rarely use Microsoft Word unless I have to submit an article to a journal. In fact, I have not installed the new version of Word (Word 2010) after purchasing it two years ago. :)

Here is some information about Google Docs - http://docs.google.com/ 

In addition, the Campus Technology Magazine published an article titled, "Sitting on Cloud Mine".

Sincerely,

J. Edwards

Save Your Data Week! Backing Up Your Data by Using 5 Methods (USB Drives)

Readers,

I purchased by first USB drive from a Black Friday sale at Walmart in 2003. I was overjoyed with a wealth of emotion because I did not have to save everything on a large portable drive, zip disks, or readable/re-writable CDs/DVDs anymore! It was amazing and it only held 128 MBs! :) 

Unfortunately, that USB drive was not large enough to handle my data and each year I had to upgrade to a larger USB drive. I followed that method for the past 12 years and now I have a 64 GB drive to save my data from my classes and research.

I hate to leave my USB drives in the classroom or even in my office and now I wear a Vera Bradley lanyard. To keep myself motivated, I wear a lanyard that matches my Vera Bradley bag of the year.

Here are some pictures!

Sincerely,

J. Edwards
