  Yeah I was surprised I even dared to go for it. I guess I hadn’t heard people saying it was hard so I wasn’t scared to try, and if it wasn’t good it was a skill issue so just try harder.

  Thanks, I could use any tips. I’m still getting into the habit of backups and probably don’t know how to use a NAS.

  I’ve got Google drive but my stuff is split over a few email addys and also I kinda don’t trust it not to fail :/ I’ve lost so much to crashes, been really slack

      lol that’s all Greek to me but thanks, I’ve made a note to try and figure it out.

      Basically it was my own lack of planning and consistency. I was too lazy to backup properly, head full of whatever I was busy with, or gave/lent my backed up music collection to someone else I didn’t stay in contact with. Then my computer would get a virus or a component would break and that was it. Or I lost stuff in moves, or a hard drive I kept to try and salvage later got irreparably damaged in storage.

      I still have some I might try to get data off when I figure out how to do it safely. I know there are a few ways of doing data recovery and I have at least once managed to get a computer going again with a bootable Linux usb just long enough to grab the important stuff.

      But some have viruses so it might be risky needing a special approach. And I know at least one forces you to enter your Microsoft password (at least while in the computer) which I don’t want to do on a compromised device.

      Idk that’s not urgent. I think for now I’ll focus on getting anything important and possibly time sensitive downloaded to local and then back it up to the hard drive I have, and the hard drives can wait til I have the brain space to deal with it.
