Last night I learned that a backup regime has to protect not only
against accidents, theft and hardware failure, they also need to protect
against brain failure.
It seems that there were a couple of directories of photos on my laptop
that I only thought that I had copied onto my main system. Before my
last trip, to make space on my laptop I deleted all the files that
weren't of photos that I had posted to flickr. Last night, I went to
look for some photos from just before my trip to Texas, and couldn't
find them. It seems that I also neglected to make backups of one of the
directories.
Less than 150 files, ones that I didn't consider good enough to keep, is
a small price to pay to be reminded that my backup regime also needs to
protect against myself.
