Yeah. I have a Synology and backed up everything except... this PC. It was just the "gaming PC" and then I realized that I would rather not re-install everything and try to recover the drive. It's set up on the Synology now.


Ouch. I'm am grateful to have picked up the "When in doubt, back it up anyways" habit before getting burned.


I have this with movies. I don't back them up because of the storage requirements. Everything is ripped from BluRays that I own, but... can I be bothered re-doing them?


If you'd already built out the automated "Some stranger on the Internet ripped it for me" workflow you could say that usenet is your backup.

A buddy just gifted me a decomm'd Synology RS2416+ w/ expansion unit full of drives that could, just, back up what I have... and I am definitely not going to do that.
