Tuesday night before going to bed, I told my computer to do a type of system check, where it is supposed to check the hard drive for errors. The next day I pressed a wrong button and reformatted the hard drive.
Wednesday, Thursday and part of Friday I tried recovering files to no avail.
So Scott, where did you back stuff up? Uh, nowhere. 5 years of goodies that I'd transferred from one computer to another....gone.
So Friday morning I pulled out my previous laptop and discovered that sure enough, I wiped most of it clean, except for work emails.
And since January of this year I have been sending BCC's to a backup email account, "Just In Case".
So, it's the equivalent of a fire, computer-style. I will scour old emails and computers at work and rebuild work files.
And follow through with my back-up plan that I planned on doing.
