I have always heeded this in my professional life. I always make sure that when I build a server for anyone I always make sure there are at least two hard drives. Unfortunately, I didn&#8217;t follow my own advise at home. I had an external drive, but it wasn&#8217;t so much a back up drive as it was THE drive. Also unfortunate is that we have been having power spikes at our house and one just happened to hit while I was using said external drive. Well, like all things there are consequences. In this case the consequences were that I lost a lot of important documents including my budget and 10 years worth of digital pictures. Luckily, I do\u00a0have a little bit of experience with data recovery and I was able to salvage some of the pictures, but most of it was lost. Oh well, just another lesson learned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experience told me that the tier 1 level professionals couldn&#8217;t help me any more than what I had done.
