Well, not really.

Since launching NABBW I have been concerned about backing up my PC. I use a program called Back Up My PC and have used it for years, but was afraid that wasn't enough.

I had my computer techie here yesterday. He installed an external hard drive so I no longer have to worry. Now all I have to do is remember to back it up both ways every Friday and I should be covered.

The best part was he didn't charge me! I've been asking him to get here for well over a month and he was sorry it took him so long. What a pleasant surprise cause he ain't cheap!

What do you do to back up your work? Anything?

Oh, what a must DO! I would be in a world of hurt if I lost my hard drive! My web site would be safe because it's backed up nightly by my hosting company. Everything else relating to my business is my responsiblity. Finances, client lists, graphic design files, passwords, concepts, ideas...endless! I recently went the same route as you and purchased an external hard drive and back up software. Whew! What a relief it is to have that! One less thing to worry about!

We have an external hard drive, two I think. I want NO accidents again. Been there, done that. And I put important stuff on floppies, now it will be CD's. and put it in the lock box. Formulas, recipes. I think it's set for every wednesday.

I am like JJ and I pray alot. My work computer crashed last year and I lost 2 years of work. Didn't learn my lesson yet, tho. Maybe it's time I considered some external hard drive, too.

Oh my gosh, this is scary! I'm like the plumber's wife who's pipes leak. My hubby does all kinds of tech work, networking, backups, etc, but mine is only backed up on a tape drive sometimes. Better get on it!!

I don't even know how to save my stuff, whoa is me for being so computer illiterate. I need the Geek Squad to come and do it for me.

Anno, try "backup my pc." It's a relatively inexpensive way to go. You purchase the program and decide what you want to back up, then set it up to do so daily, weekly, whatever.
