My computer died last night, went and bought a new one, it will be ready today or tomorrow. Lost all my pictures and excell spreadsheet, good thing I had a "paper" backup of orders. I`m on my wife`s little notebook now.
 
Just went through that ordeal last month. Luckily I had all our photos and music files on an external hard drive.

I definitely advise following Jeff's example--go pick up an external hard drive (they are pretty cheap nowadays) and hook it up to your computer and schedule backups so that you have a copy on your computer AND the external. That way, it doesn't matter if either one of them crashes :P.

Glad you didn't lose much, though!

Hi Stomper -

That is not good. Good thing you had a backup.

I am going to buy a 1 terabyte external hard drive to move pictures and critical files to for backup (and to free up space on my laptop hard drive).

They have them at Walmart for $100.

You could also buy a cheap 2-4gb thumb drive that you could use to backup your spreadsheet - maybe even just keep it there and plug it into your computer when you want to edit it - that way your business files would be portable.

best regards -

Sorry to hear about that John.
You remember the Scout I ordered for February right?
;)
 
ooohh.. what a bummer John.. sorry to hear that..:( my computer got infected with some virus recently and needed a major overhaul.. luckily i didn't lose any of my pics or music...:o
 
That sucks - I recently bought an external HD to account for this. 1 Terabyte for around $100 will back up everything off of all my computers.

I guess you have no record of that hatchet that I ordered and prepaid for do you? Let me know if you need my address to send it :)



j/k of course.

Good luck getting up and running again.
