Running my own podcast had me ignore software updates, but a ransomware lockout SHOCKED me into routine patches.

Totally get that shock to the system. I once put off replacing an ancient external hard drive for years, just kept backing up my photo library to it out of pure laziness. Then the thing just clicked and died one Tuesday, took about a decade of personal pics with it because I was too stubborn to set up cloud storage. Learned that lesson the expensive way. What finally got you to start backing things up properly?

Same here, my old laptop died and took my only novel draft with it. Now I auto-save everything to two places.

Auto-save to two places" is my life now too. My laptop's death felt like a personal betrayal, so I don't trust anything anymore.

My backup plan used to be just hoping really hard. Lost a whole tax season's worth of spreadsheets that way once. The panic really makes you change your habits fast. Now I save to my computer and a cloud drive without even thinking about it. It's like a reflex after you've been burned that badly.
