Vulnerable Data

Another interesting tidbit, this time from Government Technology magazine from govtech.net, about the types of data stored on personal computers which is vulnerable to loss if not backed up.

 

71% Digital Pictures

58% Personal Contact information

43% Work-related files and documents

41% Music or mp3 files

41% Personal financial files or documents

35% tasks and to-do lists

20% Movies and videos

14% Other

 

Personally, our main Bayer Family PC is mostly digital pictures, mp3 files, and video files. I don't have much work-related stuff on our computer, we don't keep financial records with the computer, tasks and to-do lists are in a handful of documents that could easily be rebuilt if the computer crashed...

 

I've got most of the files backed up. Not all - most though.
