RE: Art and Creativity: What's Your Backup Plan?
I interviewed a musician whose apartment was robbed. All laptops, external hard drives -- everything, 7 years of work gone in an instant. Most musicians are struggling, so insurance is not an option, but you words of caution are valid.
Nowadays there is the cloud, but that is also somewhat risky for other reasons...
Good post!!!
Another good example. These days, storage is cheap. ALL that music could have been on a single pocket drive you update monthly and keep at a friend's-- or your parents'-- house. Without insurance, you wouldn't get the hardware back, but at least you'd still have the work to rebuild from.
Yep, in the future I am sure he will do something like that. He had good karma, he had nothing left to lose, so he sent in a video for a UK reality show called Guitar Star, and he ended up winning. So kind of a happy ending.
