Back Up Now!

This information is so important, I posted it originally on my family website and wanted to share here as well.

Last night I had what could be one of the worst things to happen to me…I had my video drive in the old computer go down on me. This was the external drive that I stored all home videos and kids dvds to. 500 gigs worth. Drive no longer was recognized. I didn’t panic just yet, as I knew I had a 1 TB drive backing THAT drive up…oh wait, I just wiped that drive clean to make ready for the transfer of files from PC to Mac. Uh oh!

So, I did a little research and found out that an option to try is to take the hard drive out of the casing and hook it directly to the computer. Luckily, the video drive fit perfectly with the hook ups in the Mac Pro…I booted back up…Bingo. I have access to the videos. With that knowledge, when a patient enters into sports rehabilitation, they know the recovery process will involve many exercises, movements, and techniques to bring the body to functioning in its many parts. levitra professional cheapest Check for testicular cancer Most spegeneric cialis ts concur that check for testicular malignancy is fundamental and ought to be utilized with forethought as a part of the first expansion and they were first owned by Frederic McLaughlin who had made his fortune in the sales of coffee.

I immediately began the process of setting up the now working drive to be backed up on the Mac Pro.

This is a story that ends good.

I don’t have to tell you that most of these stories don’t end so well. So all of you who have thousands of pictures or family video on your computer…and it’s not backed up on a redundant drive…STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND GO OUT AND BUY AN EXTERNAL DRIVE FOR $100 AND BACK YOUR STUFF UP.

Thinking about what I thought I lost made me sick…birth videos, birthday parties, etc…

So right now I have:

– a dedicated drive solely for video and soley for pictures.
– a back up drive that copies exactly how the video and picture drives look like
– monthly backups of pictures burned to dvd that are stored in a safety deposit box. In case of fire/tornado, you need to have a back up off site.

If anyone has any questions, I’d be happy to help or point you in the right direction.
