Do you have an external hard drive at home?

Either USB or e-sata (or even SCSI). A hard drive that isn't include the computer has a separate cable and case.
Do you have one?
What do you use it for?
I have one that is my day to day file storage drive and two other drives that are backups of that drive.

@DocAndersen I never needed to reinstall the system from the backup, but I know it's there if needed.

@DocAndersen I have everything on Dropbox which is an online backup so I'll never lose my work.

That is a good idea, do you have a copy of the copy or a backup?

Always good! Do you back up your pictures?

@May2k8 fair enough! It is important to back up at least twice

I have two. One I've had for at least ten years or more and holds my pictures and the rest of most of my document files. I bought a new one in December to mostly hold my business info files, but also to be a backup of the other backup.
Did you know there's a way to turn your profile picture around so it faces the right direction?

@DocAndersen Can you share why you have it sideways on purpose?

One is specifically for photos and two for backing up files. Now we both know.
