on that drive. Luckily, I always backup my drives and was able to copy everything that I had done since my last full back-up onto another drive. Nothing was lost!Moral of the story...Back up your drives TODAY!!! Z

Z:I hear ya man, great advice. I've gotten to the point where I back up everyday, and even keep more than one backup. It will only seem redundant until I have a crash!Blessings,

Yep, and keep another copy off location you update every few days. I have taken losses both from burgulars and unbacked data, and both times it was like to kill me, brothers and sisters. Never put yourself through this!!! Backup on and off site today.
