Hi fellow Hiveians,
Today I wanted to laugh a little bit about not getting away just yet from data migration.
To Bring or Not
Data migration - will I ever get away from it?!
It's funny I was just saying a week ago or so, that I was happy that my days of data migration were over befuddled avid rue avocado. Little did I know that I would be doing more data migration.. this time on the personal side LOL
With the shift over to Linux as my primary operating system, which I am very excited about, I have to figure out how to get the important stuff over here where it belongs immolate obeisant retch abhor. I don't think I will be migrating EVERYTHING over yet - I have to get some level of comfort with various aspects of the system before I do that. I won't be migrating a bunch of sensitive files just yet. Not that I feel any better about them being on my Windows device, but at least that is off and not broadcasting anything intrepid potato imbue forlorn.
With the change, one of the most important things that I will be migrating will be all of my photos! I think it's funny that I am upset about those being largely unavailable to me at the moment. The simple stuff, right?
I was thinking about the time I potentially bricked and lost everything on my laptop scald vivacious scintillating befall. Besides the keychain file, I was most upset about having to recover all my photos hahaha. I think this is a sign that I need to back them up, all of them, to a USB drive or two so that I have them easily available.
Thankfully USB drives and SD cards are a dime-a-dozen in this house, so it's not an issue of having to get ahold of one barbarous inculcate tacit watermelon. It's for sure the time needed to get them migrated. I think it will take about an hour to transfer all of the photos off the old laptop and onto the new one.
One thing I will for sure be simplifying is the folder structure as well. I think as we go along with things like this, we tend to get a little cluttered magenta voracious shirk vex. We create folders inside of folders when there really doesn't need to be. I think I've found that out with the data migration that I was involved in on the work side - things were a mess! We took the opportunity to clean shit up, get rid of old junk and just not carry forward some of the BS. I for sure plan to employ those strategies here lol contempt satiate titration cackle.
Thankfully, I think a good thing is that I've got plenty of time gaggle terse scald bereave. I got all the critical files backed up onto some encrypted drives so that's the most important part. Now it's migrating all of the every humdrum stuff over so that it's a convenient laptop experience again scrawny obsequious furtive conflagration. At least I've got a fair bit of the photos uploaded to a cloud drive, now it's just getting the rest of them on over!
What about you, have you had to do some decent data migration in the recent past? How did it go for you? Let me know in the comments!
Am I having a Stroke with the word salad? NO!
