Great to remind people of this, most people only start backing up after they lose a lot of important data!

Happened to me last week. Tech dude has recovered about 80%. I'm in Vietnam so it only cost me $100. My biggest loss is emails which WA tech support suggested I back up to Outlook on my computer. I must have had a wrong setting and it it sucked all my emails out of the WA. I never got time to have a secondary back up before the failure!!! . I'm now working with Google apps for work/Google drive now so now all important stuff goes online. for 5 bucks a month it's worth it to have my emails organised from one account and important stuff backed up. I never lost much as things are backed up on various devices so now it's just time getting them reorganized. BUT it could have been a total disaster.so I'm definitely putting in a more robust process.

thx for the reminder!!
It's a good time for me to review this area also. i work as a songwriter & music producer and my operating basis for recording is to keep all audio & production files on an external drive which works more efficiently with the production software.. so in this situation i also need a back up of my external drive..
On a kinda related topic i just implemented the use of the WordPress plugin "UpdraftPlus Backup" to automatically do a full site backup to my Google Drive once a week.. it does make you sleep a little easier at night :~)
