6 Comments on Don't try this at home: reformatting your computer without a backup drive and another computer....
Pacita - That's great advice! Backing up data always seems like overkill...until you have a meltdown. With the huge capacity external hard drives available these days, it's relatively simple to create a complete back-up image of your computers system drive. It's so true when they say 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure'. Thanks for sharing.
I hear you, Pacita.
For years I worked on "1 Computer". A Virus or a Crash would put me out of business for days... I had to go to the Public Library, or Kinko's, or somewhere else to use or rent a very insecure computer, until the Geek Squad or Up and Running could get my busted computer fixed.
Today I use 2 Laptops, plus Mobile (Blackberry), and I have 2 Desktops for Backup.
Pacita...
It can be so frustrating ... all those hours spent without success. I hope that your computer is up and running soon.
Good to have two hard drives in tandem...or a link to the clouds.
Pacita - It is important to have a backup computer, in case the computer working on does not function. Thank you for the detailed quality blog.
John --- I've slowly migrated to gmail and starting to use other means for saving docs ... The less I have on the computer the less vulnerable I feel.
Jim --- iCloud it is...soon!
Richard --- I don't feel so helpless since I have my Passport backup drive....limited things I can do on IPad but at least I'm functional. Thank goodness wee have an extra laptop at home and a desktop at work...and I have an iPhone and iPad....
Fred ---- almost ditto.
David --- fortunately back up drives are now available with huge capacity in a pocket size
John --- absolutely necessary to have a back up, and a fallback plan, each and every time.
