Lookout! We're gonna be backing up! Beep! Beep! Beep!

A recent RAM failure in my laptop nearly resulted in a loss of a huge pile of data that had not been backed up. Sure, we all know that we should backup important information.. but how many of us actually do it? Well, from now on I will be making backups.

The recent laptop problems almost resulted in the loss of more than 5000 persoanlly taken digital pictures and more than 3 years of archived email. Thank goodness the tech support folks were able to restore partial uability to the laptop so the data could be saved before having to format.

Today I placed an order for an I/O Magic 500GB 3.5" External Hard Drive. It should be plenty of space to backup the family PC and my laptop as well. After it has arrived and I have had a chance to see how well it works I'll post a review for anyone who's interested.
