Data: Recovered

Back in June I was mortified to realize that because of my eagerness I've lost over 10 years worth of photographs and other files from my hard drive.  That experience has made me realize that I really do a lot of my work in electronic form. I did what most people would not do and I started the recovery process. I had no backups to speak of so getting the data back became an imperative for me.  It's now the end of August and I'm happy to let everyone know that I have recovered all that data completely. Yes, completely.  One hundred percent (100%)!  I've spent the last 3 days checking, re-checking, verifying that each bit and byte is there and accounted for.  Then I've begun the process of backing it all up to a second hard drive. Some of the more important ones I've begun to backup online on my server for off-site backup. Whew...  That was some experience.  Lesson learned... backup, backup and backup some more. Especially if you value your data.
