PSA: March 31 is World Backup Day!

World backup day is on March 31st.

In the last two years, I had one major sewer backup, and someone backed up my car twice in one month. As we prepare for World Backup Day, please share your experience with backups.
Did you have any? How are you preparing for the future backups? Are you ready for the unexpected?

Fat women should be required to activate warning beepers when backing up, especially in front of refrigerators. Not naming names, but one of those accountants almost backed into me in the break room, nearly spilled my latte!

Good catch! It should be a requirement, IMO.

Until a couple of days ago, I was completely unaware of World Backup Day, but thankfully, SanDisk and Western Digital alerted me in their recent newsletter.

Being prepared for backups is an important and often overlooked thing.

My biggest complaint about backing up, besides fat women I mean, is boche engineers. Why in the hell did they design the shift on the X5 to be pushed forward when you want to back up?
