Got a 2tb drive Also important paper in a fireproof box in a wheeled tote with other stuff to run out of the house with.

Nice

I have had a bulky Iomega 500gb external drive for storage for many years but the smaller flash drives are easier to store and grab if needed to leave. So glad for technical progress!! 😊👍

Right now I’m gathering all our photos to scan and then toss.

what an excellent idea.

Be prepared.

indeed, I kind of hope Mar la Loco would be in the path of one such incident.

I know good people who live in that part of Florida

Been working on it forever, and have copies of vitals here or there. What I've done is backed up. But there's more to go. Much more.

USB drives, miniSD drives, are cheap. A terrabyte of miniSD is about $15. For large volume SSD's are affordable.

There is also the cloud, with yearly fee.

Relative backup is a golden nugget of an idea.

Sent a lovely teacup and saucer to my oldest niece that belonged to mum and her mother before her. I had no idea she’d be so delighted but she loves her afternoon tea 😀. Been sending them drives with family photos.

We have no choice
I cannot imagine the tears over lost stuff and the hassle associated with replacing documents after that fire in LA

So sad,

I have done so much, but there is still so much...

It will help this horrible year go by faster 😀
