Hey Gang,
It’s a wet one today but at least it’s Friday! I thought we would talk today about backing up your data in response to the April 1st Conficker virus. I’m embarrassed to say that I was one of the 10 million effecting by the worm, more than embarrassed I’m just mad! Here’s a thought, what if the individuals involved spent their time and expertise towards productive applications!!! OK that’s enough venting! *LOL* Fortunate for me none of my images or business material was damaged, for two reasons. First off my work related material are stored on external hard drives that do not touch the Internet. I understand this isn’t practical but how many of you are storing all your images on to one computer? Or even worse keep them on the memory card? What if your computer crashes or your memory card becomes full during an event?
BACK-THE-HECK-UP!
Its really simple, as soon as you transfer your images to your computer copy them to an external hard drive, they only cost about $80. If your unable to do that then burn them to a DVD. Remember folks these are your memories do you really want to loose them to a bunch of Jack A$$’$ with too much time on their hands?
