When was the last time you backed up your important files?
I hope everyone had a lovely and restful Easter break! Our Easter weekend was filled with lots of good family fun and some not so great stuff. Namely a virus wrecking havoc on our main laptop. The same laptop with our family photos for the current year, seven weeks of growth progression pictures for Ashleigh's cabbage project and a guest post I had just finished writing for another blog. Fortunately, Dave was able to restore the laptop and recover my guest post. However, we lost all the pictures :( What has me really kicking myself, is that we have a backup storage device for pictures. But, I neglected to copy those pictures over to the external hard drive. So going forward, when I upload pictures to the laptop, I'm going to copy them over to the backup right then and there. Lesson learned - the hard way!

I can SO relate to this! I lost some really important pictures myself a while back, namely pictures from my daughter's prom. I have been very diligent about backing up files since then.
ReplyDeleteThis happened to me about a year ago, though my back-up device (e.g., flash drive died), and as a result, I lost all the pictures on it, ugh! :( However, I do try to back-up the important things I don't want lost. I'm sorry you lost your pictures. :(
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for the warning. WE have a backup our brother in law gave us but have not been using it.
