Genealogy Webtember 2023 Week 2: Schedule
FREE GENEALOGY WEBINARS: 3-2-1 data backup is great, but first you need to find all of your data
3-2-1 data backup is great, but first you need to find all of your data presented by Thomas MacEntee, 8 September 2023, 10:15 am EDT / 9:15 am CDT / 8:15 am MDT/ 7:15 am PDT. By now you’ve all heard about 3-2-1 computer backup. Having three copies of your data makes sense, but this relies on knowing where your data is in the first place. Is everything on your computer? What about the external drive in the closet? Or the SD cards in the drawer? Is some of your data in a cloud application, and what happens to that data if you forget to pay the subscription? I call this problem “Data Scatter” and it is the enemy of the 3-2-1 backup model. It’s hard to back up all your data if the primary copies are scattered everywhere. Let’s walk through the problem and we’ll propose a few things you can do to reign in your data and give the 3-2-1 backup model a fighting chance.

FREE GENEALOGY WEBINARS: Life Cycle of a Record: From Clerks and Clerics to You, The Digital User

What are you looking at? Where did it come from? Why was it created? How did it get online? Records from the past didn’t just show up digitally one day as if by magic. From record creation to storage to archiving and (hopefully) preservation, records made their way through various formats and institutions before showing up online. Understanding the history of a source, its life before the Internet, and the context in which it exists online today can help you discover more about the genealogical information it contains and the quality of that information, propelling your research forward.
