Back up, Back up, Back up!
17 March 2008Did I mention, back up? Yes, I have learned the hard way to backup my hard drive. You never truly know how much you rely on your computer until you don’t have access to your documents and started projects. I thought; my computer is not old enough to quite on me I don’t need a hard drive to store my digital life. Boy was I wrong. So here I am starting over, my calendar is even clean so I have no idea what I had scheduled in the coming month.
This all happened last week and I’m finally coming out of shock. Although, I can honestly express that I have fresh ideas on one of my big projects I have been working on for the last 6 months. Ok, I am trying to think positive and grow from this incident, isn’t that what we are supposed to do? Fall down or crash in this instance,, pick our selves back up, dust off, repair and then prepare for the future from the knowledge you have gained and then share with others. The single biggest thing I am coming away with, is to back up my hard drive and not just one I am getting two. I have a Mac so I am also purchasing Leopard as well.
Moral of the story, learn from my mistakes, get yourself a back up drive. Think of it as my present to you. It doesn’t coast that much compared to the services that are available to retrieve memory from a dead hard drive, whose work isn’t even guaranteed to produce results but you wont get your 2 to 3 grand back.
