I wish I had perfect recall. Then, when I unplug all the wires from my stereo system (to remove all the accumulated dust from behind the cabinet), I could remember how to hook the wires up. Similarly, after determining a backup strategy for my photos folder, I could remember what my strategy was so I cold revisit it, to determine if it is still the best strategy.
What started me on this trail (again) was hearing my hard drives spinning continuously throughout the night despite the fact that I have done little photo editing in the last six months. I do not need my hard drives to serve as noise machines.
Today I scrubbed my backups and started a new schedule beginning with a full backup. I really only need one full backup. Therefore, my program will do a weekly backup, which has to be a differential backup (only backs up new or changed files) because my program requires the first backup of the week to be full or differential. If I were to schedule more than one backup per week, the subsequent backups for that week could be incremental. Lord, help me! If you have any suggestions, I am all eyes (for reading your comments).
