Tip #3: Create a Backup
Maintain copies of your logbook.
It’s always wise to plan for failure. So let’s just expect to lose that logbook. Wouldn’t it be great if you had another one ready to go?
Make it a routine to print copies of your logbook after every few pages. Just put the book face down on a copy machine or scanner and go at it. Keep the pages in a binder and store it in a different location than the master logbook. Maybe at the hangar, or even at the office.
As an added thought: I was just listening to a great podcast: MacBreak Weekly ( go to http://www.twit.tv ) and they were discussing backing up important data. Sound familiar?
Heres the point the host made: If it isn’t in three locations, it isn’t real. Keep your backups in three different locations. So if you go digital make some copies and spread them around!
