Save Your Data Week! - Where Do You Keep Your Academic Portfolio?

Readers,

I know that this might sounds crazy, but one night I had a weird dream about something happening to my academic portfolio which I kept at my office. So, I decided to relocate my academic portfolio to my home in a Rubbermaid container (to protect it from water, etc.).

Do you scan the items in your academic portfolio?

Do you keep multiple copies of your CV?

Do you have the original copies of your diplomas (which you probably have hanging in your office)?

Sincerely,

J. Edwards

Save Your Data Week! - iCloud by Apple

Readers,

Another way to back up your data is to use iCloud by Apple. Personally, I do not use iCloud for my e-mail, etc. because I do not want others to potentially have access to my e-mail. 

However, I really think that iCloud would be a great resource for some faculty and staff.

Do any of you use iCloud?

Sincerely,

Save Your Data Week! - Using Google Docs!

Readers,

Now, I save almost everything in the "CLOUD". In fact, I use Google Docs for a lot of my research endeavors and writing assignments with students. Here's a neat video about Google Docs!

Do you use Google Docs?

Sincerely,

Save Your Data Week! - Backing Up Your Data by Using 5 Methods (Printing EVERYTHING)

Readers,

Some "old school" professors actually print everything they create on the internet. This method costs their colleges and universities a wealth of money in paper and ink. Sometimes it is great to have that high level of reassurance that your research article or your notes are in print, but the paper can encounter many negative outcomes before it reaches its final destination (i.e. - water, wind, etc.).

Do any of you save everything in print?

Sincerely,

J. Edwards
