| - | ====== System Rescue ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | One of the many reasons for using Linux is to protect yourself against loss of data and system data. Obviously nothing can insure you 100% against either of these, but on Linux there is the advantage of having control over the system to the point that if it is possible to recover a downed system, you are able to recover at least your data. | ||
| - | |||
| - | This wouldn't be a chapter about system recovery without the obligatory admonishment that the best prevention against data disaster is backing-up your data in the first place. It may be obligatory, but that doesn't mean it's any less true. If you want to guarantee that your data is safe, **back it up**. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Unfortunately, there seems to be no easy way for humans to enforce backups. The best backup methodology is one that you actually //do//. In other words, you might find a brilliant way of backing up but if you don't hit the "backup" button on a regular basis, then it's worthless. So the most important thing about backing up your data is finding a backup plan that you actually use. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Make no mistake: you don't have to settle on just one backup scheme. If you want to push all of your artistic work to "the cloud" and back up all of your private data to a local thumbdrive, there's nothing wrong with that, as long as you actually //do it//. | ||
| - | |||
| - | There are several good backup applications aimed at local and network backups. The best ones can be automated so that you don't have to remember to do it, or wait for huge data dumps when you finally do remember to backup. A steady, automated, "always on" backup scheme tends to be the smartest backup plan. | ||
