Summer in the City

Anybody old enough to remember that song? I am guessing 1967. Rascals??

Yep it's hot in the US, not only the city. Crazy weather, tornados, nasty thunderstorms. Time to consider your backup scenario. Take a look and consider if it is adequate for your needs. For example it's great to have a backup, but is the backup media in your house? What happens if your house is damaged or destroyed? Where are your computers or files?

I'd recommend you look into some type off off-site backups or more recently, "Cloud" backups or file synchronization. Cloud systems are set up so that you can have the same files accessible on all of your devices. (tablet, PC, Smart TV, Laptops). If you take a picture, it would appear on all of your devices. Be default it's backed up to "the cloud" so you have "universal access". Your files are stored in a data center with multiple redundancy so your data is safe. And you do not have to maintain an on-site home server unless you are a computer power user or do Network & Server administration for a living.

Two prevelant cloud computing systems are:

-Apple's iCloud

-Microsoft's Onedrive.

Each of these systems has its own client programs that run on the devices you have.  The iCloud client runs on windows, android, and apple Operating Systems.  Windows Onedrive has clients for windows, apple, and android Operating systems.  So no matter which of these systems you use, cloud computing is available to you.
