"Only paranoid survive."- Andy Grove, CEO of Intel
There are simple practices that we cannot ignore but need to apply
in our digital life. Things that we less care about but that will make
our lives worry less.

  1. Back-up. All digital data should be backed-up at all times. Store
    important data with multiple copies in your PC, Laptop, mobile
    phones, external hard drive and usb flash drive.

    Note: Don't save and send your account name and password in an email.

  2. Redundancy. Anything that you use with standby, here are the following examples:
    a. One mobile phone with two SIM cards but different networks - good
    b. Two mobile phones with two SIM cards and same network - better
    c. Two mobile phones with two SIM cards and different networks - best

    Select based only on your need that will make your digital life 24x7 up and running.

  3. Self Audit. You need to revisit your most important files and also
    re-orient yourself with your own files. Chances are after 3 months
    you have forgotten what you have saved.
