I was able to redo my corrections and only lost a day.<BR/><BR/>And had a scare yesterday. Thought a virus had taken over. Hubby wanted to restore, but I have 8 e-books on the hard drive, not to mention a WIP I hadn't backed up yet. But he was able to restore everything as it was on Thursday, and I checked: Everything is still there! Now to go get either a flash drive or some more disks...Molly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797552639458275193.post-90923381088413496042008-05-22T03:13:00.000-04:002008-05-22T03:13:00.000-04:00I have the compter crash but thankfully it was und...I have the compter crash but thankfully it was under warranty and they were able to retrieve the files from the hard drive...whew...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012768592941285677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797552639458275193.post-65402004825992168272008-05-21T21:10:00.000-04:002008-05-21T21:10:00.000-04:00Thank God for Divine Intervention.

Quite complicated. Hubby is installing a network between computer and laptop.Mona Riskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923883333893160794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797552639458275193.post-54837335478719574212008-05-21T17:51:00.000-04:002008-05-21T17:51:00.000-04:00We have a ghost program that we back up every time...We have a ghost program that we back up every time we add new programs.

I cried for two weeks, we didn't save anything worth saving. Looking back, the only good thing was it was early in my writing career and I didn't have as much as I do now. What a staggering thought to lose so much!!! <BR/><BR/>I bought a little flashdrive thingy and use it religiously. No nun could be more religious. I'm soooo thrilled you managed to save almost everything.

I don't have a backup system that works on this computer so I just try to put the important bits somewhere else!Tarot By Arwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12710933183576940528noreply@blogger.com
