Awake earlier than I would want to be on the weekend. It's raining hard here and the flood warnings on the phones went off waking us all up.

hahaha, oh LinkedIn, you so funny...
We want a Dallas area COO, with automotive and financial experience, 15 years, an MBA... pay up to $250K.
What? LMAO Good luck with that.
Guess they really wanted that 1/2 a person.
For half time, it's only so bad.
-
I have an on site customer meeting in a few hours. Should be nearby, but with the rain, it is not. Going to take an hour to get there thanks to Dallas drivers.
-
Heading over to someone's house to support their home stuff. This is the only person I do this for.

Doing some soccer coaching

Although it is not the same, I have Deepin working on 2013 iMacs and they work well.

Back home after taking my daughter out for froyo.

Just finished updating tickets from yesterday. Now catching up on stuff here. If the rain slows down, I may go walk around the fair if the rain slows down here (it's not going to stop as we get the remnants of that storm.)

Just got the kids off to bed.

Family Backups
Question 3 kids in school and a MumAll use computers all have file/pictures etc.
They all need Office and some way of "backing up" their files.Would you be happy enough to just use Office365 yearly/monthly plan with OneDrive and use that as a Backup/Storage (so if the computer fails the files are still there).
Or would you "double" up and use something like BackBlaze to do a backup of all the data as well?

Really depends on what the stuff is. You've got two copies already, so unless it's like critical financial data or something. Probably not.

Yeah, with the new O365 personal plan for $99/year, you should really be covered..
-
@jaredbusch @scottalanmiller yeah that's what was thinking.
What about photos? My mum has 100's of photos ok only 20-30gb but I'd prefer them not to be on the laptop once "backed up/sync'd" so would you trust OneDrive and Microsoft or upload to another cloud or even back to good old USB external drive?
-
O365 is great. I've lost my physical drive with all that data on. No problem, got a new one and resync. I accidentally deleted data in OneDrive... No problem, recycle bin and versioning.
I have hundreds of thousands of family photos and videos, as well as important documents, and some vital DB and compressed data backups of my web servers and such.

I use Flickr for that. It's free.
-
@hobbit666 Google Photos would be free as well, depending on the camera used to take the pictures, it may not be original quality. As @scottalanmiller mentioned, Flicker is also free, and I don't think it has the same limitations.
