Back up your pictures

I would like to make a public service announcement to all my mil-spouse friends, fans of Sara, members of the Wives of Faith ministry, and anyone who stumbles across this blog.

Normally I’m the book girl here at WoF, and believe me, I know it’s been awhile since I last posted. I am woefully behind in my life both online and off, and I will catch up eventually!

I had some trouble with my laptop recently, and before I took it in to the Geek Squad, I backed everything up on an external hard drive.

I thought.

Yesterday I went to retrieve pictures from August, and discovered they are not there.

I double checked everything before I took the computer in.

They are not there now.

I have cried many tears over lost dance recital pictures, videos, family photos–they are all gone.

Please learn from my mistake: BACK UP YOUR PHOTOS. Online or on disk. Today.

    Hey Pattie! So glad to hear from you but so sad to hear your news! I haven't lost a ton of pictures like that but I once came really close to losing an entire manuscript. Laptop was on the fritz and I was praying the entire time until it actually came back up, and then promptly copied all of my files onto an external hard drive and thumb drives. Now, I ALWAYS back up.Thanks for the reminder and again, so sorry that it happened!!
