It is so heartbreaking with it happens, especially when you thought you had taken the right steps for this NOT to happen! I just want to mention that you want to make sure you also backup your contacts. One day I was sending out one of my emails to all my art contacts only to find my address book (on my mac) with only one single contact in it instead of the 1,200 that should be there!!--- SCREAMS. It had been a month since I had backed it up but I also had recently got an iphone so they were on there too, phew! I have since found idrive lite app to back up from my iphone and I now remember to regularly backup my address book! Thanks for mentioning Mozy, I will check that out too. :o) So sorry about your backup woes!

I'll still have to spend time formatting them. Those images created before him are only on the failed drive. I'm about to get an estimate on the cost of recovery. I don't think it's going to be cheap but it may pay for itself over time. ugh! Fortunately, my fine art photographer had a copies of the images that he photographed.

Backing up my files is something I struggle with daily. The number of files and the file sizes has made CD's or DVD's impractical, but I don't fully trust backing up solely to other hard drives. As you've experienced...they fail. I've had one fail too, but at that time I had my files on CD's too. Unfortunately an online data service won't work for me because I don't have high speed Internet. Sorry you have had this happen. Oh NO! Backing up my files is something I struggle with daily.
