Glad I can connect to the server at the office and have a backup of my D drive once in a while - will do it again tomorrow. C drive is for programs and easy to reinstall. I use one day to build up when I get a new computer once very second year. During this 24 hours I'm not easy to live with :lol: My deepest sympathy - I would have gone nuts.

Now I am going to have backups of various forms and in different places. Lesson learned here too - I was too complacent in thinking I had a satisfactory backup solution in place.

Just a matter of being able to find it all now. Thanks Bettina, I think I have got most things back. Just a matter of being able to find it all now.

Now I do a complete system backup each week, I print out all important information and even save on CDs critical data. Don’t worry, Sue, we still remember you. :)

I learnt a big lesson earlier this year, and that was to back up regularly. I hadn't and when my hard drive died (my laptop was < 1 year old) I lost over 6 months worth of family photos and days of work in spreadsheets and documents. I am doing back ups regularly and manually but using <a href="http://www.2brightsparks.com/downloads.html" rel="nofollow">SyncBack </a>free version which I have found easy enough to use.

You're doing something for a small reason and end up with a BIG problem. Isn’t that always the way? You’re doing something for a small reason and end up with a BIG problem.
