OMG!!! I've lost everything.

My HDD has just died and I've lost all my photos of the kids growing up, what can I do, please help



Most of us know the answer to that question, so make sure it doesn't happen to you, do a backup today.

Of course my HDD hasn't really died, but if it did I would restore my data with one of my many backups and I'd be up and running in no time.

So take notice and do it, better safe than sorry.

I didn't. It's backed up so I won't lose anything this time.

For anyone that thinks it will never happen to them, have a read of these:

Listen here you lot, do not ignore me go and backup your HDD's now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[photolady]

Yeah, what he said. I just backed up about five full dvds of stuff I didn't want to lose. Course my reason was I needed the extra harddrive to install Vista. Soon as I get this tweaked, and my programs installed, it will get a backup via Acronis True Image 11.

Btw, I fell for your title last time......this time I was ready.

or you get the one i got a few days ago. computer wouldn't boot off the hard drive. I figured I might be able to save the customers data. so I asked them if they had anything important that may need to be backed up because I was going to wipe it out and reinstall. they said no and the wife confirmed that no they didn't have anything. so i proceed. the husband asks "what are some things that need to be backed up" I said documents, music, pictures and he says "oh no pictures i didn't think about that" but of course it is too late.
