back up...
so how many of you actually back up all the files on your computer on a regular basis? i have been pretty good at backing up my photos especially since i have taken photos for other people but i have NEVER backed up ALL the other files on my computer. over 5 years worth of files.... is GONE! my hard drive crashed about two weeks ago. i am still trying to process who much information i have lots. it is really depressing. we have made a few attempts at recovering the information ourselves with no success. so then we took it to a local computer guy, he said he couldnt get it either but could recommend someone. so now we have to decide just how much my information was worth. hard drive recovery can get VERY expensive. anyone ever had this problem and know of a good place to take it? if you have been lucky enough not to, please back up your info! you wont regret it.

Hey Bon! Scott and I check your blog daily! Sorry we don't comment much but since we don't have a blog ourselves it's kind of a pain. sometimes our comments work and sometimes they don't- lets see if this one will. But yes, we truly enjoy seeing the every day life of the Wids. It makes us feel like we are living right next door instead of hundreds of miles away. We love you guys and your pics! And yes, scott and I too had that happen once- live and learn is how we did it. Now we have an external hard drive that we back everything up on. So sorry-we know how much it stinks.
love ya xoxoxo
Hey Bon, great advice. I haven't backed up in a long long time...think I will go out and but a external drive tomorrow and do that. Sorry you lost things, but you also made me remember that I need to do it. I check out the blog all the time, I show mam and dad the pics. love u guys and miss you guys. I actually just started a blog, I will put the address on fb.
I haven't backed up a thing (pictures or files)... You have made me want to begin doing it tonight!!!!
I'm so sorry that it crashed and you lost your stuff. I pray that the guy will be able to retrieve it for you!!
gosh Bonnie I'm so sorry!! I've had "back up files" on my to-do list for months now. I think I'm FINALLY going to do it. I have so many important things on my computer, all my freelance and all of our photos for years and years!! I would probably pay a lot to get it all back and would definitely be so sad if I lost it all. I have no one to recommend to you though... so sorry. I got your FB message my email is: Leah(dot)Guenther(at)gmail(dot)com.
I am here!!! :) Sorry your computer crashed. Man, that's a huge bummer. It's so great that you back up your photos, though. I'm not even good at backing up those. I would be devastated if I lost them.
