For starters, I'll never get around to it. Taking the time to create CD's isnt going to work. I know me - putting it on the calendar isnt going to work. When this happened to me (again!) recently, I decided to finally do something about it. Its one of the most sickening feelings you will ever experience. But when it boils down it, you'll procrastinate until its too late, because you wont realize the importance of it until you're staring at a blank screen or a fried hard drive. Everyone else who is reading this is in the same boat.

And just how safe is that backup?ĭont feel bad. Seriously - when's the last time you did a thorough backup of your computer. And according to the comments left after my recent computer crash, most of you dont either. And of those people, an even smaller percentage that has a foolproof backup system. That said, its the rare person that actually has them 100% of the time. There is no good excuse for not having current data backups. I would be absolutely heartbroken over a true data loss, not to mention left scrambling for months trying to recover and get things back up and running 😯 Every file and program I use to manage my online business, my accounting for the year, all of my contacts and emails, several years worth of photos - pictures of my family even!, products and downloads I've invested thousands of dollars in, my own products I have tons of time invested in. When I sit and think about what I stand to lose, it's a lot.

This is not the first time I've found myself in this situation - in true panic mode over major data loss, and without a current data backup on hand. After my recent computer crash, I put some serious thought into how I wanted to handle future backups.
