    Oh Nooooooo, I've lost everything.

    Hi all

    Not been around for a while, come back because I need help big style.

    Think my HDD's dead and I've lost everything all my photo's personal letters etc.

    What can I do?



    Phew just remembered I do backups so I'm OK after all.


    How about you lot, would you be OK if your HDD failed or would you lose all your stuff.

    Do a backup now, don't put it off, you know it makes sense.

    Backup Boogaloo, you know it makes sense to do.

    Its his annual reminder thread to back up your data. Of course, by the time most new visitors here see it, it is probably already too late for them.
