I'm getting back into scrapbooking this year after doing no layouts last year and very few the year before. So I'm starting with my photo a day layouts and hope this is the year that I finish all the weeks. Yes I know I'm starting late, but it has taken a while to get all my effects and styles installed on my new laptop, and it is so much faster I hope I'll be able to catch up. Caption 1. Playing Code Names at our New Year’s Eve party 2. My new and old laptops 3. Thank goodness for cloud backup after I lost all my 2017 photos 4. Very empty in The Forum this morning 5. My work purchasing card has arrived 6. Trombone playing at Tom’s 40th birthday party 7. M has been trying possible autographs, so he’s ready when people ask for one. -
I've been trialling Crashplan as I like the idea alot, but it will take about a year to do the initial backup so seemed a bit pointless. I also found the software slowed my laptop down a lot. I read somewhere that data doesn't really exist unless it is saved in two places, and I really like that it reminds me that backups are important (that and almost losing all my SG supplies a year ago due to EHD failure). My current back up is: * windows file history copies documents to EHD when it is plugged in * cobian backup runs weekly incremental backup to EHD of documents, downloads, emails ... anything on laptop I may want in future * allway sync to copy files from EHD to another EHD that I keep in my locker at work * scrap supplies are on EHD and cobian backup runs weekly to copy these to another computer on our network * our photos are stored on a desktop computer that has a raid so if hard drive fails we have a second copy I have two concerns about this sytem: * it relies on me plugging in my EHD which I haven't done for a week * our photos are protected from hard drive failure, but not not someone deleting them so I have started making folder read only once I've sorted them, and there is no offsite protection. The plan is to create a NAS in the garage which will give some additional protection. Now I've got myself worried again that we're not doing enough. Back up is so hard.

I like the combination of pictures and text in the days. A great summary of the month. -
oh no, I've spent all evening deciding on my sale purchases and my basket emptied as I was going through the checkout process
I hope I remember what was in there -
Thank you for the reminder email. I thought the sale finished on Monday! At least the time difference works in my favour
