Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Do you backup your data?

So AH'ers, I was going to put this in tech but wanted a more general result. Simply: Do you preform regular backups of any or all of your computer data?

That's not really a backup if it's on the same machine and in the same house.

Not in the same machine, those are just my media player backups and mains.

I'm not very technical so I'm not sure what this really means. Is there a "proper" way of backing up?

I copy everything that's important to me on to a memory stick, but I'm not sure that counts.

Ya that counts but I recommened that you buy an external harddrive and back them up on to that.

That 38% doesn't back up their data is a little scary but explain the many threads in Tech along the lines of
"My hard drive crashed, how do I recover the data help help"
And also why companies can charge 100s of euros to fix it. Easy money.
