Back it up!
My laptop hard drive died the other day. I tried various recovery tools but I couldn’t even get my bios to detect it when I connected it to my desktop. Bleh!
So in addition to the cost to replace the drive, I lost a game I’ve been working on and some irreplacable photos downloaded from my camera. But still, I have no-one to blame but myself!
So here is a friendly reminder that if you don’t have an automated process to back up your stuff: Go back up your files.. right now.. no excuses!

yeah, i think everyone has had problems loosing data, and when you can not recover using consumer software its best to go to specialist, as I have in the past. check out digitalMedix.com, expensive, but less expensive than going with out your data(sometimes)
