No backup for google docs?
Good Cloud?
googling for backups reveals either
- failed ventures,
- not entirely satisfactory solutions for my non techy users at the school involving greasemonkey scripts. Not that there is any thing wrong with it, but we need something more robust, regular, reliable.
- requires command line knowledge. Hmm remember those non techy users?
Or is there?
Does google gears constitute an adequate backup?
Gears allows you to operate offline. I tested it, it works. I could access and update. I erxited the browers and came back in and as long as I went to the google docs url, it was OKAY, as though I was still online.
I then logged to the one of the other Pc’s, installed gears, went off line – it worked too. So now I have 2 copies in theory?
And of course, the PC’s are being backed up – to the external hard drive and idrive, which means that the data stores are being backed up…. so now I have how many copies?
Bad Cloud?
So do we have good cloud or bad cloud now?
So if I lose my PC and local backups (house burns down), I revert to the Good Cloud.
If we have Bad Cloud, eg: google fails, how long could I use the browser version offline?
