Ande43 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Ok...does this sound goofy....I am going to backup my Lap Top with Carbonite and instead of having them back up my 2T EHD I got another 2T EHD drive so have the same files on each of those,,,, Cheaper in the long run as it is only $59 for a year of just my LT.????

April Showers Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I do that Carol. I back up in more than one place though. We have another hard drive that we don't update as often that I keep in the safe deposit box. And it has everything on it, not just my scrapbook stuff.

Carbonite + two Duplicate EHD drives should be enough...if not I am thinking I was not suppose to have the stuff LOL....as I have said, we scrappers lean toward the Paranoid....I know I do.

lorac Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I use Carbonite to back up my desktop and my 3TB EHD. My EHD is starting to make weird sounds, so I guess it's time to purchase a new one. This time it will be 4TB. Can't believe that I have that much 'stuff'. I remember when I thought that my new 52MB IBM Computer was big enough.

I have a 2T and two 1T.....The guy out at Staples just looks at me and shakes his head...the second time I went out and got a 1T he said are you sure you need that? I said well, I have a 1T full already and he could not believe it.....not a scrapper, obviously....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatlady Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thanks ladies for inspiration. I have 3 EHD and do back up often but now after all this chatter I am inspired to do it again today before leaving to work on the boat. It can run the whole time. Happy Scrapping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorac Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 My 3TB EHD died. So I was going to buy a 4TB, as I thought that was as big as they came. Wrongo! I am now the proud owner of a 5TB Seagate EHD. The guy at Best Buy didn't believe that I needed that big of a drive. He tried to talk me into getting either a 2TB or a 3TB. He said, "Honey you don't need that much space." So I answered him back, "Oh but HONEY, I do." I'm surprised that he didn't pat me on the head. Condescending little twirp. So I know what you mean Ande/Carol.
