Why You NEED To Back Up Your Files And Folders

 

So, when my PC crashed to be honest I wasn’t all that bothered as of course I had everything backed up.
The problem was though, I had everything backed up onto a Laptop that then, before I had chance to back up also crashed and died.

Aha, I though. Now although I didn’t get all of it backed up I still had plenty of my files and folders on my old Laptop…Have you guessed what happened yet???

Yep indeed BOOM.

So because I didn’t have any external back up I lost every file and folder I ever created, all the products I have ever bought and all the tools & software that I used on a daily basis.

 

So that is why you not only need to back up EVERYTHING but make sure you do it to an external source.

I have to say in a way it’s great as it’s like starting fresh with no distractions, no products collected cyber dust. I miss some of the software the most that I bought and payed for but of course all my passwords and the emails I paid with were all safely stored in a notepad file.

What would you miss most if you lost it all?

At first I didn’t think I would miss much and saw it as a get chance to get started over but as the days go by I realize how much I used the stuff, even down to a simple html editor that I knew how to use very well to tracking and link building software.

It has also set me back a bit as I have not been blogging of late as I have been focused on a site for CPA and had a few hundred links that I needed to do some sharing and back linking with but never mind I have been planning to create a different site for a while and I have now moved my focus onto that end. All I need now is an html editor that doesn’t make me feel like throwing this PC out the window (no that’s not what happened to the last one).

 

But first though. A cup of Tea.
