A few weeks ago the hard drive on my computer went bad on me. I could not even boot the computer to try to copy anything to a flash drive. The good news is none of this mattered to me. I had a complete back up of everything I needed and did not have to worry about a thing. I just simply put a new hard drive in and restored everything that I needed. I was up and going in less than 2 hours. Could you imagine how long I would have been trying to get back going if I didn’t have a good backup in place? I might have spent days working on a bad drive trying to get a few extra files off of it.
