Backup Your Data
Scenario I
- Susan's hard drive crashes and becomes unusable while she was innocently browsing the Harrison Ford web site.
- Since she makes regular back-ups of her data, she simply buys a new hard drive and copies her data files onto the new hard drive when the old drive was pronounced unrecoverable by a trusted computer technician. Susan lives happily ever after.
Scenario II
- Ariam's hard drive crashes and becomes unusable while browsing a Star Trek web site.
- Like many of us, he was a procrastinator and never made a backup of his data. Upon realizing his loss, he passes out cold. His dog wakes him up by licking his face and Ariam slowly recovers from the shock of losing 2 years of work. He buys a new hard drive and now backs up data regularly!
Moral of the Story: BACKUP YOUR DATA FILES REGULARLY!!
