  • Good post... should be in the Magazine FAQ/Wiki...

    Few more scams to call out...

    • Send money to help family member injured out of town.
    • Amazon fake order (anyone calling for that matter saying you've been billed or ordered something).
    • Car should also be for anything requesting a deposit before seeing in person with appropriate access or buying, (rental property, pets...). Usually high pressure and a really good deal situation.
    • if it's too good to be try or you feel soemthing is off... it usually is.
  • Two drives is a good thing. Always have a copy at a remote location and swap it out rather than shuttling the one drive back and forth.

    rclone is a good solution. I use it myself. I also just found out about syncthing which is great for syncing with your phone to something to the local network.

    YSK The Backup 3-2-1 Rule

    Why YSK: If you have digital data that is important, (family photos, crypto keys/wallets...). Back it up and prevent permanently losing it.

    3 different places its saved to, (iPhone, ICloud, laptop, Facebook, Google, Camera SD, Flash drive...).

    2 different media, I would consider iPhone and iCloud the same. Buying two External Drives of the same type and brand too. Why? Consider losing your Apple account or the drive model fails in a year.

    1 off site copy. If all your copies are in your house, a flood, fire, tornado, hurricane, EMP... would lose every thing.

    0 time to waste. (My own personal add). Do it now. Procrastination is dangerous and is the biggest regret for when things go sideways.
