If you've experienced, you are groaning. If not, you wonder if I have lost my mind...
It started early one morning in June, 2005. I was innocently responding to an email when all of the sudden my computer screen turned completely royal blue. I tried everything (short of throwing it out the window!). At the first reasonable moment, I called my computer guy. He lead me through a couple of exercises that didn't resolve the problem. He said something about "a problem" and "blue screen of death" but I was too frantic to really comprehend.
Long story short, my hard drive had crashed and was completely unrecoverable. As an organizer, you would think that I backed up data on a daily basis. Oops! Never made the time. I had backed up some stuff about a month previous...but not everything and not recently.
The first plan was to get a laptop. I would use it to backup the desktop and be able to take it when I travelled. Oops! Still needed to make the time to transfer the files. My second plan was to get an external hard drive and set it to back up everyday. I got advise about what to buy. I was going to purchase it at the end of 2007...then by the end of 2008...
Third time is the charm! Now I use DependablePC. They have an awesome, safe, reliable, off-site backup system. I don't have to worry about anything even if my office goes up in flames or my computer is stolen. A little money for a lot of peace. Think about it!
