61/365 Photo Project - Data Loss
Data Loss
If you learn one thing from reading any of my posts on this blog I hope it's that you can never backup too often. My laptop hard drive died on me the other day and I have lost 6 months worth of photos. I am needless to say more than a little pissed at that. Being someone who is computer savvy I would normally backup to DVD, to external Hard Drive to web sites more regularly than I have been doing due to our recent house move, never let being too busy be an excuse, back up now before something happens to your important photos, files, financial records or and passwords too!
So today's photo is of my old hard drive as I continue in vane it seems to recover the files on it, no luck yet using it as a second drive, trying GetDataBack and HDD Regenerator apps on it, although both programs are pay to use they do allow you to look at your HD first to see if there is anything they can recover and believe me I would gladly pay the 50 bucks to get those pictures back. Fortunately, at least anything I have posted to this blog is saved (although in a lower resolution) automatically by Blogger, so there is at least that.
UPDATE 3/2: Thanks to some great recovery software I have managed to recover all of my photos that I thought lost, technology is a wonderful thing if you have the right tools, and yes I have backed them all up now, crisis averted. I have not been a fun individual to be around while I thought everything was lost but now life can return to normal once more.
