Back up your work!!!

Another public service announcement to back up your work!!

I hoped the Geek Squad would be able to get my files off my EHD but they told me they couldn't. I cried for days and days. I lost photos from April 2011 until Aug 2011 including a special vacation we took in Aug. I also lost several scrapbooking files and kits I created. Some weren't even released yet.

My mother and husband took pictures during that time but still thousands and thousands were lost!! Don't cry your eyes out like me, back up your work!

Don't have an issue like I did, stop and back up now.


And this message is for me too.. MARIA BACK UP YOUR WORK!!!!!!!

Back Up Your Work!!

This is your monthly public service announcement to back up your work!!

Don't have an issue like I did, stop and back up now.


And this message is for me too.. MARIA BACK UP YOUR WORK!!!!!!!

OMG I am going to be sick!

I used to be an advocate for backing up your work! I even used to post monthly messages to remind all of you to back up your work.

The last time I backed up to my other hard drive I got a message telling me there wasn't enough room. Did I buy another one??????? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You know where this is going.....

Late Saturday night my EHD fell off the table and onto the floor...and of course it didn't work! I tried and tried but nothing!

Today I went over to Best Buy to the Geek Squad and gave them my External Hard Drive to fix.


They were very nice, took my info and EHD and I even bought another back up EHD.

Less than an hour ago, Matt from the Geek Squad called to tell me it was worse than they thought and they have to ship it out to some super duper Geek Squad place. I have to go back tomorrow morning to fill out more paper work and pay more money! And he still wasn't sure if they could fix it.

I feel sick! Just the photos of my son alone make me upset! All the scrap files I could deal with, but missing pictures from April (the last time I backed up) to August has me very upset.

You know the moral of this story.. stop what you are doing and BACK UP YOUR WORK!!

This has been a Damsel in DISTRESS public service announcement!
