[QUOTE="Lucent Warrior, post: 551141"] IMO his number 2 "Create external back ups often" is not only common sense, but a failsafe that should be part of everyone's Preventive maintenance they should be employing. If it is backed up, you lose nothing but time repairing the machine "in most cases". I keep nothing personal on my system, except for when im using it at that moment. For example, if i took my camera out for a shoot, and come home with 200 pictures, they will get uploaded to my computer, and immediately after doing so, i weed out what photos i do not want to keep, and then make copies to place on one of my many flashdrives. Now i will use the originals on the system to edit and upload ect, and then delete them from the system. Basically, i keep nothing on my system i can lose if something were to happen like Ransomware, or even hardware failure. [/QUOTE]
