Common causes of data loss around Santa Barbara

The mountains behind Santa Barbara rise steeply from the coast, and strong downslope sundowner winds can drive wildfires toward town. The Thomas Fire in late 2017 burned for weeks and filled the area with smoke, and the January 2018 debris flows in nearby Montecito showed how burned slopes can turn deadly in heavy rain. Keep a backup in a go-bag or offsite, store important drives where you can grab them quickly, and expect high-wind days to bring outages or preventive power shutoffs.

Close to the ocean, damp marine air and fog carry salt that corrodes connectors and circuit boards over time, especially in garages and rooms with open windows. Smoke and ash during fire season clog computer fans, and Southern California's earthquake risk means a running drive can be knocked to the floor. Keep electronics in interior rooms, clean intake vents after smoky periods, secure desktops and external drives so they cannot tip, and run important equipment on a UPS.
