I hope everything is OK?

yes! I learned the hard way years ago.

That's good to hear. I learned it the hard way in my sophomore year

My thesis advisors used to tell us in the typewriter days they'd always stow 1 copy of their completed work in the freezer in case of fire.

That is brilliant !

the mistake/oversight I most often see is that people don't include the non-redundant files they don't keep on their primary machine.
-
Yeah it gets really easy to forget about files that are actually important once you have a certain amount of data / references / drafts spread over multiple machines +but need to do so because of workstations / working at home / whatever)
-
I also do offside/cloud backups via Backblaze for my main machine. Backing up data which was generated by some automated peocedure it’s may be overkill to back it up unless your are working on that project and it takes a long time to regenerate.
-
didn't know about Backblaze, thanks. Synology + Backblaze would definitely get your the multiple redundant backups -
Backblaze is great. Super fast and it backs up unlimited data from@your main machine plus drives attached to it for 5 bucks a month. But they don’t allow that for synology (which kind of makes sense economically :P)

1999. Hard drive crashed, completed dissertation corrupted. No back up. No time to retrieve. Half a hard copy of field notes.3 days to submission. Moving overseas day after deadline. Drank a lot of coffee and scraped a 2:2 instead of the expected 2:1. Lesson learned.

Yes! We just had a fire on campus and too many people’s backups were in the same buildings their computer.

Everything I do now is in Dropbox - not only makes files backed up, but provides some versioning as well. Plus time machine.

When I was in grad school, I emailed myself my thesis every night. And when my laptop died a week before it was due, I was glad I was so cautious. And..... I guess for context - google docs/clouds weren’t really a thing yet.

And find an automatic back up tool so you can't forget about it. One saved my backside once.
-
I just save everything in my Dropbox folder now, so if my computer is on the internet everything is getting sent to the cloud (and mirrored to desktop)

For UMNers: Our Google Drive is unlimited, unless I read something wrong.

As a guy with years of IT experience, this is good advice for anyone. And I can also tell you that almost no one will heed it until they suffer a massive data loss.

In multiple locations is so important. An IT guy slacked on backing up a friend's lab's data to their lab servers and my friend lost 3-6 months of data when the computers fried and recent work wasn't backed up
-
The lesson should be, verify that the data is backed up if it's important to you. Not blame an IT guy.
-
Frankly, the IT person wasn't doing their job that the lab was paying them to do, which was to back up data to the servers once a week. Slacked off for 6 months on this job. This is why I emphasized multiple locations, preferably at least one you have complete control over.
