CAT question: largest TM and TB   Message List

RE: [help_] Re: Storing the USB key in the car, was: CAT question: largest TM and TB

I like your reasoning and Sue’s of course…

What size is your USB drive and what do people consider to be the absolutely essential information to be able to get started again from scratch if the worst came to the worst? My first thoughts are:

This year’s translations wherever they may be stored

DVX databases

Dragon User files (maybe not 100% essential as I could start again)

Outlook messages (I have calendar and contacts synced on my iPhone)

I’m sure I’m missing something…

Contributions gratefully received!!!

;-)

FWIW, I maintain 4 copies of all my user data (PC, laptop, USB drive,
'remote' PC), and I have been keeping the USB drive in the car four years.

My reasoning is this: if the house is burgled while I'm out and the
thief takes the PC and the laptop, I can simply buy a new PC or laptop
and carry on working almost instantly.

Hi Veronica I have a 500 GB drive (I think, although I could get it from the car and crank it up to check :-) ). As I said, I keep a backup of *all my user...

Mmmm, interesting question, although the same applies to the data on my PC or laptop and, dare I say it, on your PC/laptop, doesn't it? Anyway, I don't keep...
