Today is World Backup Day. You faithful readers know that for the last couple of years, I\u2019ve blogged about this day because \u2014 well, it\u2019s important. But\u2014 I still think it\u2019s misleading. When I first heard about it I was very excited because it seemed like the kind of day I\u2019d be in to celebrating. Of course, I discovered that the day didn\u2019t have anything to do with going backwards\u2026 it\u2019s a day when you\u2019re supposed to backup all your computer files. I will continue to support the day, but my opinion is that World Backup Day should be about \u2014 backing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I suppose it’s appropriate, or an omen or something, that the day before April Fools is World Backup Day\u2026 this \u201cday\u201d originally started as World Backup Month and was originated by a hard drive company by the name of Maxtor. Maxtor was later acquired by Seagate Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before computers became the center of our world, backup seemed to mean to undo one\u2019s actions or to reconsider one\u2019s thoughts, but today when \u201cbackup\u201d is used, most people immediately associate it with a computer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think our data is backed up regularly, so I don\u2019t need a special day to do it\u2026. but as I said, for those that don\u2019t this is an important day. So \u2014 since I won\u2019t be doing a special data backup today, maybe I\u2019ll do something else related to back or backwards, like maybe thinking of words that can be spelled the same backwards, such as level, madam, radar, noon, rotator, mom or racecar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Celebrate the day any way you want, but don\u2019t forget to backup the stuff on your computer\u2026.
