Many say with the time change to Daylight Savings you should check your fire & smoke detectors batteries and test them, that is a great idea.
Equally as important to many with gigabytes and terabytes of data, documents, design files, photo memories and basically our digital lives is to take the time and make sure you are backing your data up regularly, reliably and of course securely. Backup methods fail sometimes faster than a Vegas wedding, so double and triple check your backup methods and I possible don’t rely on just one method. whether it is external drives, physical media, cloud solutions, offsite media chiseled into stone whatever it is make sure it works and you can get your data back safely and securely. I once had my main hard drive go out and then I checked my back up solution and murphy struck and that too failed and I lost photos and documents I can never get back.
You should be doing these things more than twice a year with the time change but twice a year is better than never as both can cause memories to go up in flames.

My solution:
– Daily backup of all my Documents/Pics/Music on my NAS
– Weekly system backup if the SDD crashes and you don’t want to install anything from scratch. (Restore weekly and daily and you only lose one day!)
—> the most important one: A monthly backup of my NAS with an external HDD and I take it to work. Because if my house is on fire, I’ve still a copy of my picture and music library!
(Network and system backup with Ocster Backup Pro. The monthly one is a simple robocopy sync script from A to B.)
Manuel,
Great plan!
