We have all been warned, we all know how important the data on our computer is to us, but what do we do to protect ourselves?  A couple of weeks ago I headed to Dallas, Texas and prior to packing up the lap top, I plugged in my book, and hit back up entire system.

Since my laptop is pretty close to capacity it takes a while to do a full and complete back up - I generally only have the system back up files that have been changed since my last back up.  When I am going to travel though, I create a full and complete back up and over write everything - I want one clean back up to make restoring a breeze.

I have never had to use my back up - but there have been times in the past that I did not back up like this and some little gremlin would come in and destroy everything on my computer.  No back up meant I had to start everything over, had to recreate the wheel and years of hard work.

Now, I back up all of my systems and do it regularly - and as is standard when you take precautions I have never needed my back up..... until this last week.  While in Texas I had a major malfunction - I was able to get my laptop back up and running and everything seemed great until yesterday - I lost it all...

I hit the on button and nothing - I thought the lap top was dead - after 3 years of abuse it would not have surprised me - I was amazed - I found the rescue disk - installed and loaded my backup with the restore - a couple hours later I was up and running. 

After completing a little maintenance the laptop is good as new - well maybe better - it has everything on it... my contacts, my programs, my documents and my photos -

If you do not back up your system please do so, there are so many choices today that are so much more affordable, easy to store and easy to use.
