Wow this is really a painful experience. I can imagine myself loosing all the files when your computer crash down. Tanks for sharing this post. I learned a lot from the comment posted here.

Wow, that’s scary. I can basically point and click. I have an iMac so I hope I don’t experience what you did.

I am breaking into a cold sweat just thinking about a computer crash… though I do have my computer hooked up to time machine, a system that backs up your computer regularly.

In the back of my mind I am aware this can happen and try to avoid the pitfall you encountered. I got a virus on my computer once and upon start up it went into an infinite loop. I eventually fixed the problem with the help of a computer literate friend. I think computer problems need to happen once for us to take security and maintenance more seriously.

I couldn’t even imagine going through something like that! Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl….

I know I don’t backup NEARLY enough, so I thank you for reminding us all of the importance of doing so.

Hey Petra

I can so relate to you. I went through the “computer crash” ordeal just a month back and still suffering from its jitters (laptop keeps restarting without warning). Initially when it happened, I felt completely devastated but then I realised that things were not so bad. I had all my excel and documents records on Gdocs (yeah, online back-up ). I have been typing for so long now, that I now find it difficult to write! So keeping a notebook wouldn’t be easy for me.

I suggest you can also keep an online back-up at Gdocs (important excels and docs). As for more advanced options, there are sites like Blackblaze you can subscribe to. But the applications like Skype, Gtalk etc. and other softwares all have to be downloaded again after the computer comes back “clean”.

Trust me, it seems like you have moved into a new house, you have to arrange all the furniture all over again.

@Petra
Great! I just wanted to make sure you think of online backup as one more step to add to the mix Look there is nice material in for a follow up blog post “How I now backup my data”. Perhaps Carbonite has even a referral program that you could use? Always the best to promote programs / services that you use and are really happy with, it really transmits to our readers, and following that — our sales, SY

PS Seems there is a problem with your comment form, it is now the second time that when I hit “submit” I get your 404page, I need then to use the back button on my browser and the second time the comment gets through ;-(
PPS Oops, happened again! If it doesn’t post this time, I willl send you an email regarding that and yes, I have waited until the Commentluv has found my blog feed!

@hospitalera, I did get the email, thanks for that, but what I have done is got online backup through Carbonite, and I also bought an external hard drive to back my data on.
