Backup my computer files


 

How to backup my computer files by Starrboard1

"If it wasn't for Josh's spare hard drive, I'd be hosed by now."

How I did it: I had finally started this goal over the Spring when entertaining my idea of purchasing a netbook.  When I visited my brother he lent me his extra hard drive to back up the files and programs on the desktop to help it run smoother in the meantime.  I couldn't have known it then, that that move was the best thing I could have done because right when I was in the middle of a school paper, the computer shut down and immediately started rebooting... along with a column of smoke and terrible plastic burning fumes. 

Thanks to the back up into still being on the external hard drive, everything up until this semester's work was on file.

    When I added this goal initially I was thinking of my desktop, but I should have realized that over time I’d accumulate items on my laptop that I’d like to save as well. Whoops. The other night I was in the process of backing up my laptop photos (ironically the only things I cared about on there) when the whole unit shut down. Apparently the all the drives crashed. Right now I’m trying to find someone who can access what’s left to see if there’s anything worth saving.

    Farewell my fair Peggy Sue…

    I really need to work on this one. It only dawned on me today when I was copying my work schedule that, I’m only going to be in the area for just over a week; and I still haven’t started moving yet. I’ve got stuff in boxes but not even half of it. I’m pulling an all nighter tonight to get that out of the way but I know the file thing will come next to last.
