Thankyou Carbonite

June 26th, 2009

In order to go away on vacation properly, I had to update my laptop and had to do a whole lot of moving and shaking of files, for which I hired A Kid. The Kid was a great help except he forgot to clean up after himself after which I had to do the discarding and discarded the wrong thing. Had it not have been for Carbonite, I would have lost about 11,000 files. For $5 a month, this is soooooo worth it. I know that Carbonite doesn’t back up external hard drives, which means I have to keep the really critical stuff on my main drive, but it does not overwrite old files–not as far as I can see, so I got back everything. (I also discovered that I may have been able to regain the files with software called Recuva, which I think is free.) So that’s my report from the cyber frontier wars–with a happy ending.
