Where is the data?

Let’s assume that the residents of this office building are backing up their data. If not, then they may not have a business left to try and revive.

Not backing up was a way of life. After all, you do what you need to do and move on. That is, until something happens.

I was in the middle of my final draft of my Masters Thesis/project. Just days before the deadline. Crunching numbers, analyzing data, creatively interpreting…. CRASH!

Drive died. No repair options and deadline looming. Got a new hard drive and reconstructed my work. 20+ hour days, got it done, quality somewhat lower than it would have been and almost landed in the hospital but was able to fight off pneumonia from home.

I still don’t back up as much as I should, but I learned this hard lesson before Mr. Watson’s service came available! Now it’s a different operating plan!
