I’ve just spent two stressful days trying to figure out why my brand new hard drive isn’t working. And no, I don’t have a backup. I did, but then I canceled my Mozy account when their prices went up and, well–long story, stupid decision.
Besides my initial freakout about possibly losing all my data and not having a backup, I’m still undecided on what I’m going to do about designing when Little Dreamer closes next week. So I guess you could say I’ve “backed up” a bit in that department while I continue to feel out my options.
The Daily Digi posted an interesting backing up article the other day.
And while we’re talking about it, I was rear-ended when I was in the school pick-up line. Thankfully, my van only got a small scratch. But that was the other guy’s fault, as he was going forward, not as I was backing up.
Hi! My name is Pam and I believe no matter who we are or where we come from, we all have a story to tell. My blog is the place I tell mine. My story isn’t always as organized as I’d like, but the truth is, life is full of rough drafts, isn’t it? If you think this might be a good place to hang out, why not subscribe to my RSS feed so you don't miss anything?
Hee, hee!
I’m not laughing at the situation, though. That sucks. But, your post makes me chuckle!!
My question is, now that I have a laptop, will I remember to back up? My EHD was always connected to my desktop, so it just happened without me thinking about it. But now . . . Hmm. Perhaps I should go read that article!!

Man, what a day. I’m sorry! When Mozy jacked up their prices, I switched to Backblaze. But I’m still paying for Mozy until my initial backup with Backblaze is complete. I want to cover all my bases.
