I use Backblaze to backup my work. If you don’t have a backup service of some sort, you’re just an accident away from disaster. My recent debacle with my laptop illustrates the point nicely. Without backups I would have lost all my data, including Irreal, tax documents, medical records, and a host of other important information. Fortunately, I did have a backup service in place so recovery was fairly easy.
If you’re looking for a backup service, I can recommend Backblaze. The backup is continuous and seamless. You never have to think about it except to pay for the subscription once a year or recover your data if a disaster occurs. They’re very reasonably priced so there’s really no excuse not to be backing up your date either with them or some other service.
Occasionally, Backblaze sends me a newsletter with various articles that they think may be useful or enjoyable. The most recent such letter was entitled Welcome to the Digital Nomad Life. It’s a series of tips for those who were suddenly thrust into the remote work lifestyle. It’s not about technical issues such as what microphone or camera is best but instead lists ways to make working from home more pleasant and strategies for dealing with interruptions. It’s a short article and may help with a new and unexpected working environment so there’s no reason not to check it out.
