It’s at this point you will be glad adequate backups were made if you made them. Things like precious photos or videos can never be re-created and are lost forever unless you get lucky and can salvage something using software. The simple question is, how many of us actually implement a good automated backup strategy? If we’re honest, many of us do not and even experienced users sometimes tend to rely on their recovery skills more than preventative backups. Although there are methods to help recover lost data on working hard drives, it’s incredibly costly to have your files professionally recovered from a broken hard drive or memory card. The phrase “Better safe than sorry” comes to mind and backing up your important files at least once a week will reduce the chances of losing what you most want to keep. This could be by mistake or even bad luck if the hard drive fails. At some point many computer users will end up losing valuable data such as photos, videos, documents etc.
