Oh no! I'm so sorry. I had this happen to me too. I lost so much. I'm seriously thinking of buying one of those external hard drives and back up my info on a daily basis. *nods*
I'm thinking about Carbonite.com. Because $50 a year seems like a small price to pay, now. I have an external drive too, but something offsite that wouldn't be damaged in a fire or other disaster is something to think about.
I email my completed stories to myself, so those are okay. It's just the not-complete ones (most of which I have on a thumb drive, so those are okay too), and the latest revisions of the novelthing. I've also got some videos that I wouldn't want to lose, and there's the pictures. I'm going to be backing up like crazy now, of course, but it's a little late.
The thing about storing offsite is that if there's a fire or something that destroys your computer and your backup drives, at least you can get it back. I have a lively horror of that...
I'm very happy to hear all of your stories are okay. =) That would have been beyond horrible if you had lost them all. I understand about your videos and pictures, and I hope you can recover them.
This is true. I pray neither one of us ever experiences that nightmare!
