All of us in my family have lost important files before, and sometimes it really feels devastating. I guess I'm a little paranoid too--I never thought of an online service, so I backup some of my files to CD, in addition to the external hard drive. Truly, it's not a question of *if* your hard drive will fail, it's a question of *when*.

I back up to an external drive, PLUS I back up to an online service, Backblaze, for $5 a month. Yes, I'm that paranoid so I have a redundant backup plan. My husband uses Carbonite for the same price, I believe. <br /><br />I was surprised at how much I grieved over the loss of those photos. Besides the ones from the reunion, I had also scanned a ton of old pictures from my late aunt's photo album. I think my son's high school graduation was also lost. And probably lots of other non-reproducible pics.Robin in Short Pumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726872348079992947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702704177918809144.post-54548390659374200312009-08-19T20:56:25.564-04:002009-08-19T20:56:25.564-04:00I say AMEN to LC comment....I also send some thing...I say AMEN to LC comment....I also send some things to aol account...because I use outlook express and would lose mail files......Margo in Mainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297363016531444112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702704177918809144.post-28910047697933285622009-08-19T11:51:08.469-04:002009-08-19T11:51:08.469-04:00Good advice!

An external hard drive makes it very easy, and this is a lot less expensive than hiring a tech to recover lost files!<br /><br />Cleaning up the hard drive now and then is a good idea too... amazing the stuff you find that you forgot you had... which reminds me, I plan to clean up my stash this week... who knows what is hiding in those shelves!Elsie Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739927333538419518noreply@blogger.com
