I lost my music

Lately it seems that I’ve heard from a lot of people who had a computer crash and when it came back they said they lost all of their audio – especially those that they downloaded from itunes.  Well, here’s a hint, you should do what the professionals do.  BACK UP YOUR COMPUTER!

External Hard Drives don’t cost that much anymore, and most operating systems have a back up feature.  Today many of us don’t store documents, music, photos in file cabinets or even shoe boxes.  We store them on our computer.  Not only is it a pain when you upgrade your computer, but if you have a major problem you could loose everything.  So back up!

I’d recommend once a month you should connect an external hard drive to your computer and have it copy everything!  Write over the old material on the external HD, again just to be sure.

It is amazing how much less stomach acid comes rumbling up your throat when your computer crashes if you know you have all of your important stuff copied somewhere else.
