Yearly Reminder: Backup Your Data/Image Your Drive

[Mowgli]

Alot of you are sitting on a goldmine but the question is, what would happen if right now none of it was recoverable. Please look into backing up your important data to an external source and or imaging your drive. There is a lot of free image software that allows you to image your drive to an external source. Dont let it happen to you because you'll think about this thread like. i knew i shoulda listened.

Not many cons to making an image. Its pretty handy. Just keep a DVD around with the date. Boom easy restore point to when you imaged it.

Losing alot of data represents time wasted. I dont like feeling that way so i image my shyt and keep my data backed up.

also make a backup of backups. I use box.com with their 50gb to upload all my pics of naked women ...as well as music, pictures, important documents etc. I have 4 backups of my shyt on different medium, stored not in one central location
