Computer Backup

Yes...I'm back in action!! I've learned a very expensive lesson two Sundays ago.

Always back up your data in your computer.

I didn't do any backup for a month and I hope I have not lost any information. All my information are invaluable as I conduct so much transactions with my computer. My passwords, user names, URL links, tips, photos, music, audios, etc are all in my computers.

It was that day when my roof started leaking during a thunderstorm. Rain kept pouring in from a wind backlash through the gaps between the roof tiles. I wasn't at home and the master bedroom was flooded. It was too late when I discovered the situation. My 2 Mac notebook computers were drenched with water. The very next day when I sent them in for repairs, I was told that one Mac is worth repairing as I just bought it 6 months ago and it was an expensive intel Mac. I should retire the older one which I have been using for the past 4 years. It is far too costly to change the motherboard. I've not got my computers back as yet. It shall be bad news if all data were lost. I hope I won't need to be told that in a few days.

Lesson - Always always do a backup immediately on a daily basis if you could. Anything can happen and expensive data can be forever lost. It's worth the effort.

I learned my lesson too well this time. :-)
