#2 - If your hard drive DOES fail or you somehow delete your files you should also have a Disk monitor available to keep track of your files in case it goes down.

( ) This software would crawl our computers at night and back up all of the companies computers to one huge drive (tape back up actually) that was databased and versioned everything in case we had a failure. Professionally I used to use Retrospect BackUp. There are also other solutions that do things like Time Capsule and stuff, plus probably a million for Windows, but seriously, it's as easy as what I just told you. When you go to bed, just copy everything (well your original data, not software or applications you can re-download or re-install) to the new Hard Drive and let it just copy away. Go out and buy a 1 or 2 TB slow USB drive (Cheap is fine) and hook it up to your computer. Hundreds if not thousands of dollars, and you won't spend it. (And Cloud solutions suck, cost money and are unreliable, IMO) You can use software from companies to find that data if you lose it, but just ask Best Buy how much that's going to cost you.

LITERALLY! FOREVER!ĭo not trust Windows or Apple Mac OS to somehow find that data somewhere, it's not happening. WHEN your drive fails you will lose that data FOREVER. #1 - BACK UP YOUR DATA!!! In the future you will NEED those files from your previous classes, clients or other creative endeavors. This can come in the form of an external hard drive failing, an internal hard drive on your home computer failing or one of the crappy flash drives students bring in failing, getting damaged or, most commonly, getting lost. One of the most COMMON situations that occur in our classrooms every semester is Hard Drive Failure. So I wanted to take a moment and point out a New Years Resolution that ALL OF YOU should get behind, DATA PROTECTION.
