\n\u201cMs Smith I\u2019m sorry to tell you that your computer has died\u2026we did all we could.\u201d<\/strong>
\n<\/em>Ok they used techy terms but the gist of the matter was my computer was completely dead, beyond repair. The list of things that had gone wrong with a computer less than two years old was quite remarkable! \u00a0Ok, ok, I\u2019m sad, yes, but the data, tell me about the data????
\n\u201cMs Smith, we\u2019re pleased to tell you that we have been able to do a full data recovery onto your Seagate Backup Drive.\u201d <\/strong>
\nWahoo, hip, hip hooray, I let out the huge breath I\u2019d been holding for over a month. Thank goodness!<\/p>\n
We are now a week or so on and my old computer has been laid to rest and I am now sat preparing this review on my sparkly new computer. \u00a0At my side is the Seagate Backup Plus with all my precious photos. \u00a0It was with great apprehension that I plugged the Seagate in to check that everything was really stored there and lo and behold there it all was, with easy to navigate menus to find everything I wanted. Amazing!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve actually decided to keep all of my old data on that Seagate Backup Drive rather than transferring it all to the new computer and using up a large chunk of its memory. I know it\u2019s all safe where it is and I can easily access things whenever I want them. I\u2019ve actually bought another Seagate Backup Drive for this computer and I will be backing up regularly. The device is so, so easy to use it really is a case of attaching it to the computer and then it step by steps you through the process. I wish I\u2019d done it a long time ago and I would have saved myself an immense amount of angst.<\/p>\n
A friend suggested to me that I buy some online backup space instead but I just don\u2019t like the idea of that as much. Call me daft but it feels safer and I feel more in control with it sitting there in front of me rather than off in space somewhere. One thing another friend told me though that might be worth bearing in mind, is that if you leave your backup drive next to your computer and your computer gets stolen, then the chances are the thieves will grab the back up drive too! Arrghhhh maybe I should be backing up my back up?<\/p>\n
For me that\u2019s a dilemma for another day, for now I can relax knowing that my precious photos, files and folders are all safely tucked away should the worst come knocking on my door again and I am left relieved and smiling but not forgetting what a silly I was for not tackling the backup issue sooner. Thanks Seagate for making it such a breeze!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
