Today, I grab my backup external Hard Drive and head to a friends house. It hasn't been working on my computer and because I thought it was an issue with my computer, I took it to his house to make sure I was correct.
This Hard drive is what I store ALL of my pictures on. The Birth of my child, family outings, Fun moments. Everything. I have back ups of this hard drive until 2008. Well, needless to say, the hard drive is a goner. I lost everything on it. Holiday pictures, Important files....everything.
I'm telling myself to breathe. Doesn't make it easier. I have a friend who is going to do his best to recover anything/everything he can but he also can't make any promises. So....as of right now, I lost a few years of my child's life in photographs but learned one hell of a good lesson....
FOLKS...Back up your back ups. Back up your back ups back ups. I'm sure this is all common knowledge to you all. It was to me too. And for the last year I kept saying I would get around to it, but somehow never found the time to do so. DO IT NOW. I'm serious. Log off here, save your information.
I'm a jacka@#.
Have a wonderful night.
