All of the above | Mar 28, 2012 |
- While I'm working on the project it's on my computer - Once it's finished, it gets copied to an external hard drive - When I have time/inclination it also gets burned to a DVD. At that point, it gets deleted off my computer. - The DVD is stored in my filing cabinet. - If I need to work on another computer that is not on my network, it gets moved via a USB flash drive (rare, but it did happen once). | | | Anne Carnot France Local time: 12:03 Member (2009) English to French computer + external hard disk | Mar 28, 2012 |
I'm copying all my files onto an external hard disk on a weekly basis, except when I forget to do it... :-s | | | Ty Kendall United Kingdom Local time: 11:03 Hebrew to English
Never thought of using it like that....perhaps time to reconsider. Currently everything is on my laptop.... | | |
On my computer and then a back-up on an external hard drive. | |

On my computer which backs up to the cloud via Mozy every evening. I'm also working between my study and the kitchen at the moment to supervise my 5 month-old puppy, so all the files I'm using are on Dropbox so I can easily pick up and carry on no matter where I am. My netbook has Dropbox too so I can also work on there if I want to work when I'm out and about. Invaluable! | | |

I'd need a fuller definition of "translation data" before being able to answer. I keep a folder called "WORK" on my PC with all my work-related content (client folders, billing, TMs, glossaries, etc) which I back up onto a pen drive more or less daily, or at least a couple of times a week. I also have another (backup) PC which is actually faster and better than my main one, so I keep a copy of my stuff updated on that too... In fact I think I'll go and try out WF on it now t...

In fact I think I'll go and try out WF on it now to see if this morning's bug is PC-specific or generalised (WF Classic is apparently not working today if the user is offline - which IMO seems really iffy, as it's supposed to be a standalone application - and it asks you to renew licence but the their website is down...)

I just send an e-mail to my own account with attached zip file. This way I can backup my own files, generally document, ttx, TM etc. | | | Ditte Duclert Spain Local time: 12:03 Member (2011) English to Danish + ... Computer and Email | Mar 28, 2012 |
I save everything on my computer and every so often back everything up on an external hard drive. When I am translating a large file, I back it up as I progress and email myself the file to make sure that I have it in case the computer dies on me. When the file has been proofed and sent off to the client, I delete the files from my inbox. | | | Pages in topic: [1 2 3] > | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Poll: Where do you save your translation data?
