What would you do if - right now, everything froze up on your computer? Nothing works, and then, you're forced to turn the computer off holding down the power button.
Or...
What if you knew, without question or doubt, that you had that document on there? You typed and formatted it just yesterday, and now...it's nowhere to be found!
Or...
Your computer has been making strange sounds, loud whirring or clicking?
What if, all the sudden, your computer begins rebooting by itself?
Or... you start getting ominous messages like the one above?
Here's the solution to all these problems...

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.

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

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 :~)
