Yep, I said five external hard drives!!! Why would a person need five external hard drives? It’s to backup your backup, to backup that backup and to backup all those backups. You hear it all the time, especially from teachers, friends, or coworkers who have lost data. You can add me to that list.
I lost my data twice. Yes, twice…I’m slow. First experience: I was working on my Stop-Motion animation. I imported 800 pictures into flash with success. I named it and saved it in two different locations. To cut the story short, the Flash drive crashed and I lost a day worth of work. It sucked!!!
Second experience: Again with the Flash drive. I started my creature project. I drew my creature and didn’t save. Drive crashed again. My creature was lost. All because I put my trust into a single little flash drive. I should have saved it to another hard drive.
My tip: Buy five external hard drives, label them, and save your work every two minutes. This way, you spend more time saving your work then actually doing your work. Productive…NO, but at least your data is saved.
Lily embracing change at a cost of 5 external hard drives!!!
I totally understand...I have 4 external hard drives and several flash drives! I am even thinking of subscribing to a server based back up in addition to those. Luckily, I have never lost data, but I know it can happen.
