I do backups but not nearly as often for full backups.<br /><br />My photos which are really not valuable are backed up 3 times, - esternal hard drives (2), a thumb drive, and of course they are on the camera disks.which I do not wipe out. I buy a new one.NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944680374762156997.post-33944525099477039552013-01-17T05:46:21.434-08:002013-01-17T05:46:21.434-08:00My Fingers are crossed!

Fortunately the school technician managed to salvage most just by connecting with the hard drive! How that worked I don't know when nothing could be seen! Now I have an external hard drive for everything, but I wonder if that is enough too! School stuff + photos stuff + writing stuff = an awful lot of stuff!Gemma Wisemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466540188839321484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944680374762156997.post-84801781112539407822013-01-16T14:51:13.982-08:002013-01-16T14:51:13.982-08:00Yah, Genie, I keep all my stuff backed up on time ...Yah, Genie, I keep all my stuff backed up on time things too, however, from ipeople's past performances in times of trouble, I also make an additional backup on external hard drive - this has been most useful to me.<br />I gotta admit, even though you had these problems, I still had to smile at that line about the nuns - you did preserve and I hope you don't collapse. Unless you still have a warranty on your product, you will indeed end up buying your new hard drive - research on apple hard drives on my own time has found multiple problems with hard drive - just a case of still having warranty for me. They replaced everything and I was persistant - som might call that a bit of bit*h*ing - that's how us gals are referred to when we are persistant, Eh. Hope all is well soon and the weekend is only another two days. Take care kiddo :)LilliStJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771499579700164919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944680374762156997.post-34061659498115286932013-01-16T13:58:43.776-08:002013-01-16T13:58:43.776-08:00Once again, this is Yoshi.

I had an expensive lesson couple of times and since then all of my photos are in the external hard drive. It's inconvenient to modify photo with photoshop but there is no comparison than to lose all when the computer is crashed... <br />I stopped buying the cheapest external drive after having a nightmare three years ago!<br /><br />All the best!Yoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262500744784559114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944680374762156997.post-954292903016987172013-01-16T08:32:53.191-08:002013-01-16T08:32:53.191-08:00I hope you get it all straightened out soon, Genie...I hope you get it all straightened out soon, Genie and that you haven't lost a lot of data.Grandma Barb's This and Thathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06639649601385700411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944680374762156997.post-9210296691149549282013-01-16T08:10:25.342-08:002013-01-16T08:10:25.342-08:00I just got a Toshiba external hard drive mainly so...I just got a Toshiba external hard drive mainly so I could free up the hard drive in my PC laptop of all the photos and documents hoping the laptop will function a little bit faster and better. Not sure if it does but at least if the laptop decides to go belly up someday, I have everything safe elsewhere. Patience is a good thing to have.
