How do you deal with the loss of a hard drive and all the data on it?

I depricate drives before they fail. I keep backups

I don't deal at all. All my sensitive data is backed up in multiple places, everything that's not backed up can be easily downloaded or
otherwise recreated.

Thanks for your 5k just because you were too cheap to buy an external drive for $100 :^)

I restore the data from Google Drive.

It takes a while to download several terabytes, but it's alright. At least the data isn't lost.

Why the fuck would you pay the extortionate amount Google charges instead of just buying a few drives?

I can afford 8 euro per month.
I was already paying 4 euro per month for having my domain hooked up to Gmail, so I'm really just paying 4 euro extra per month.

Also, I do have a few extra drives. GDrive is just my off-site backup, because even a million drives isn't gonna save me, if my house
burns down.

I wouldn’t know because I don’t lose data, cause I’m not a retard who keeps anything important in only one place - on a physical
device that I know can break at any time without warning and lose everything.

Seems a bit cumbersome.
That amount of thumbdrives is also not particularly economically viable.

No it's not.

I'm using the GSuite Business. They don't enforce the 5-users-for-unlimited-storage thing. If you sign up as a single user, you'll get
unlimited storage.

1. Pretend that you're able to get your data back (Denial)
2. Get frustrated when you failed (Anger)
3. Tell yourself that the data you lost is unimportant. (Bargaining)
2.79 MB WEBM
4. Recall that /g/ told you to back up but you think data loss will never happen to you. Cry a lot and ask /g/ about how
do deal with the loss of a hard drive. (Depression)
5. Accept that you're too poor to get another hard disk for backup, and data loss will always plague you. (Acceptance)
