Are you backing up your data?

Had a scare this week.

Computer failed to boot – screen completely blank!

Feared that the hard drive had got screwed up.
Looked at the option of doing a data recovery from the drive and installing a new hard drive in the machine. Staggered at the current prices – any thing from £450+

Immediately saw that data – or getting it back is more costly than a basic PC.

Eventually got the PC to boot and immediately took a backup of all my data.
Used the CD Read/Writer to create a couple of CD’s – always kept putting it off before. Now I shall do it at least once a month -New Years resolution.

At 75p a disk – that’s much cheaper than £450.
