So it finally happened after 7 years depending upon them, I lost my USB stick – after a whole two weeks with a new 4GB!
Luckily enough I had -
- More than enough spare USB Sticks
- Backed up all my data the previous day (more luck than judgment)
- Only created 3 simple docs since I had backed up
So other than losing a £5 stick it got me thinking on how I could employ ICT to minimise the damage by losing any further USB sticks (at minimal cost!), I want something that -
- Can backup my memory sticks frequently and automatically
- I know sometimes I leave my memory stick at work and often use the backup files to edit and improve then I have to transfer the next day – so I want something that can syncronise and not just copy would be even better.
- Finally, although no sensitive material was on the lost memory stick it occurs to me that some form of encryption would be good for sensitive files, ideally this would need to be used on any machine – even those that I do not have administrator rights for.
The search begins!
