Backups are a love letter to your future self

Nobody thinks about backups until the moment they would have saved everything. By then it is too late, and the loss is total in a way that is hard to describe to people who have not felt it.

A backup is just a copy somewhere else. It is unglamorous and easy to put off. But it is also a quiet promise to the person you will be next year, that the work you are doing today will still exist.

Because my whole site is plain files, backing it up is nothing more than copying a folder. The simplest setup turns out to be the safest one too.
