    Backups are great for digital files yeah… Are you actually running your notes through a copier twice every time you change something important and running one of the copies to external storage?

      No, I have several notebooks allocated for various types of importance - one for writing down everything, one in which I write down things which are relevant but not important long-term, and two in which I keep copies of the notes I need to keep. I just write it twice.

      If you’re asking about official documents, then yes. I keep two “official” copies of everything (always separate) and 5 generic photocopies of each document in case anyone needs it on file for whatever reason.

      Again, these aren’t new arguments against storage environments, we’ve literally been doing bureaucracy for centuries.
