Just a friendly reminder to everyone to BACK UP YOUR IMPORTANT FILES REGULARLY! While backing up important documents, preparing for a trip to North Carolina in just a few hours, my computer crashed… once… twice… three times. On the third attempt, I got an error on bootup. My master hard drive is going bad. The good news is that I do have a good bit backed up, but the bad news is that I don’t have a good bit backed up as well. The hard drive is still usable, luckily, so i am working in “Safe Mode” to back up my most important files to a newer drive, namely master files for Studio|chris and other important artwork that needs to be updated in my current backups. Keep your fingers crossed that I can get everything I need copied over.. and remember BACK UP YOUR OWN FILES!
With the world becoming more and more technology dependent, it can be amazing the amount of our lives we keep stored on our hard drives. Don’t lose it!
Just a quick update — Luckily, I didn’t lose anything with the hard drive crash. *whew* That was a close one. My computer was smart enough to warn me before the drive totally gave out. It does still work, but it will not boot into Windows. I safely got all of my important files backed up to multiple drives and have decommissioned the bad drive. Here’s to 3-4 years on the new drive!
