backup
This goal was directly inspired by this post by @zzq. It measures any and all time spent involved with any aspect of backing up your data, or as zzq calls it, “interacting with [your] backups”. In my case that even extends to file management (organizing data), since I started this goal woefully underprepared.
I cannot recommend this enough. It’s been a couple of months now and I’m still not backed up well, but I can only imagine with a little horror how much worse it would be if I hadn’t done all this work in the mean time. Even if I were to think I had a foolproof system by now, the work would never stop (maybe dialled down a little).
PS: If I recall correctly, that initial peak was me restoring data off of a drive that didn’t have any backups…
