About a month ago, I moved the external drive I use to back up my machine to Jack’s computer. I was planning on backing up the data on my PC to his PC using an automatic job. Unfortunately, I had not yet gotten around to it when the disk on my PC suffered a catastrophic failure. The good news was that I had another hard-drive suitable for rebuilding the system. The bad news is I lost about a month’s worth of data. None of it was priceless, but I still felt very stupid. The first thing I did when I had a functioning system was order another external USB drive. (Once you have started using these, it is hard to go back to a more cumbersome system.) This drive is now attached to Jack’s PC with a full backup, and my PC is backed up to my external drive.<\/p>\n
Have you implemented a backup plan for your PC? <\/p>\n
