We’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: a backup strategy only works if it actually works.
So before we close out this section, here’s one final habit to adopt—test your setup every now and then.
What to test:
Can you restore a file from Hivenet?
Are your synced folders still updating properly?
Is anything out of place—or missing entirely?
You don’t need to do this every day. Once a quarter is enough for most people. Make it a calendar reminder, tie it to tax season, or do it when the clocks change—whatever helps you remember.
Worst-case scenarios are rare. But they happen.
And when they do, you’ll want to know that your files are safe, your setup is solid, and your future self is high-fiving past you for taking the time to check.
You’re now fully equipped to use Hivenet with confidence, intention, and a backup plan that actually works.
