It only takes a minute of your time to copy your important files to a drive or the cloud. I (potentially) lost one year of progress on a book I’m writing because of my negligence.

So please don’t be like me.

    I’ve never really thought about it outside of the context of code, but I wonder if Git would be handy for this. Plain text and markdown would work perfectly, but there might be better version control systems for things like Office/LibreOffice.

      Many backup apps or scripts create differential backups, so even Office documents and whatever else doesn’t play nice with Git is still backed up an additional time when there’s any change detected in the file.
