No, I’m not talking about your work data nor your important documents. You know you should be backing that information up regularly, right? I’m talking about what Todd Cochrane of Geek News Central calls your “Digital Life”. Photos of family and friends, music files, home videos taken and stored digitally on your computer. These are the things that if lost are irreplaceable and you not only should back those up but make a physical backup and store them off site. Fires don’t discriminate, nor do thieves so once that precious personal data is lost it could be gone forever. Back it up to an external hard drive or the equivalent and store that copy in a safe deposit box at a bank. You hope you will never need it but if you do it could be a life saver. What would you do if all of your personal photos and videos suddenly disappeared?
