I once dropped my external HDD with A LOT of photos and videos inside.. For many years I was not able to recover anything. One day, while cleaning my stuff, I stumble upon this old HDD. Now that I was running Linux, I thought there might be a tool that could do some magic, and I was right! I was able to recover pretty much everything! Since then, I try to maintain at least 3 backups (two locals and one distant) for the most important stuff :)
I think the key is automation. If you have to do the backups yourself, you're going to forget. Especially when you're focused on important stuff, and that's when you absolutely want backups!
You are right, automation is the key in most of the fields now. Especially when it is about your personal life, where you want to switch off the brain a little bit.

What an inspiring story with a happy end!👍 Yeah, I should learn from you about 3 backups.😅
