Backups: Never Lose Anything Again

Every drive dies; you own copies, not data. The 3-2-1 rule in one afternoon, why sync isn't backup, the annual fire drill, and honest triage when loss wins.

What you'll walk away with

3-2-1 translated: device + external drive + cloud, and why each digit answers a specific way things die.
The trap that catches the diligent: sync is not backup — mirrors propagate deletions and ransomware; backups remember the past.
The one-afternoon automatic layer: phone and photo backup verified, versioned computer backups, offsite via cloud — plus the monthly green-date glance.
The fire drill and loss triage: restoring one file per layer yearly, recovery-time reality, platform exports, and what to do (and never do) when a drive is dying.
