Yesterday I started thinking about all my data and how it is backed up. I use a Time Machine from Apple which automatically backs up every hour or so. It's great to go back to recover an old file. In fact two weeks ago I accidentally deleted a page on my Newspaper lookup spreadsheet. (This is the speadsheet I create with publication dates of death and funeral announcements taken from the Ryerson Index . i.e. those that are not on Trove or the Sydney Morning Herald Archives site. When I am in Armidale I go to the University and look up these dates in the microfilmed newspapers.) Fortunately I was able to go back into the Time Machine and recover an earlier version of the document. Lucky this happened two weeks ago as last week my Time Machine died. I am now paranoid that my laptop will die before I get a replacement. However, I have been backing up my genealogy files each night. I also have some information backed up on Dropbox and still more in iCloud so hopefully...
