Yes indeed. I think that I might have reported a couple of months ago  
that I had lost 4 external HDs.

They had back-ups of back-ups on them.

The net result was I have lost a lot of information. Some going back  
to 1989.

Recently I was going through a pile of CDs when I cam across one that  
had a lot of photos on it. I got very excited at the prospects.

But, I was laid low by seeing that some of the files would not copy.  
The CD had suffered some damage since it was created. Darn.

There is hardly a day that goes by that I don't search for some file  
or photo that I know that I had - but my success rate is near zero.



ooroo

If you don't hear the knock of opportunity - build a door.
