I guess it thought I had seen it enough or wanted to be stingy with showing me the information on it. Regardless, getting to the information was a headache. Not so much for me as it was for my husband who had to figure out how to recover it.
Now, had my husband not have been technically brilliant (hi, honey), it would have cost us quiet a bit of money to have had the information recovered, or recovery attempted. Thankfully, he was able to recover it. My important information was not lost.
Yes, I should have been better about performing a backup. But I wasn't.
I am now.
Now, I have an external hard drive that I use to backup my information. It's a 1 terabyte desktop external that automatically syncs with my laptop. I plug it into my laptop each night and let it do it's thing.
I also store all of my photographs on the external. When I need to access them, I simply plug it in and browse to find which one I need. It saves a ton of space on my laptop and keeps things nice and manageable.
A big daddy 2 tb external has recently hit the market and it looks super sweet. I don't quiet think I am up to it yet, but you just never know.
