My Most Important Flash Drive Just Broke! :(

Hi! I'm displeased to announce that, about half of an hour ago, my most important flash drive broke. I bumped into and snapped it while reaching for a towel. Thin flash drive contained mainly most of my computer work, documents to print out, a lot of dev documents and a lot of DOS and Amiga games. I've been backing the works, and the rest have to be replaced. Now, I just have to find a new flash drive.

 

It's worse than I thought: it seems that I have not been backing up the flash drive as diligent as I have thought: I'm missing a lot of documents.

 

Into every life a little bit of "Oh, @!#*^%" will fall. Ooops.

 

I always keep at minimum 2 copies of everything. My day to day flash drive is also backed up to a 2nd flash drive so if either breaks, I still have a copy. I probably have 5 copies or more of my mp3 files on micro sd cards, in the mp3 players and on USB sticks.

For the future: Buy 2 flash drives and be sure to have 2 copies of everything.

 

Well...I was able to restore some of the lost information, and some more is backed up at a day program, and I believe that most of the rest of the information is either print-out copies of my code or copied from elsewhere.
