Backup Awareness Month was last month and clearly I'm way late on this one. But that's no reason to gloss over this.

If you've ever experienced major data loss (I did back in college and have been borderline-paranoid about backups ever since), you already know how important backups are, and you probably have a good backup strategy in place. But if you haven't... tsk, tsk. You better do something about that... fast. With options like Backblaze, external hard drives, Time Machine (for Macs), DropBox, Super Duper (for Macs again), and so many others out there, there really is no excuse for not having a solid backup strategy (especially as prices on hardware and software are continually coming down). Unless losing that important file you've been working on for the past week is okay with you.
