I am sorry for you. I had something similar earlier this year. It is so frustrating.

Just creating another backup of all files, thanks for the heads up! I would suggest going with the disk at a local repair shop though.

I use lotsof small CF cards, a backup to my home network, a backup in the firesafe and a backup on DVD at my brothers house just to be sure! I was burgled and had my computer gear stolen hence the paranoia!

You are not alone here. I had a new computer, so I just postponed backing up my vacation pictures...Guess what? That new computer crashed and I lost them all. Moral of the story? Procrastinators are in for it...Big time. Astargirl, I also have a few pics that are only on DT now...By the way, any chance we could have them back, obviously for free?
Check out my pics. You know what "they" say, it&#x...

from a broken HDD, you can recover more than 90%. I backup my files on an external HDD, and when they are for a dvd 4.7 Giga I make two dvd copies, and one I give to my motherinlaw. you never know what is hapening, so it is the best to have a copy somewhere else, not in your house. :D

Sorry to hear the misfortune. I have been working with IT for years and always stressed to everyone that I work with to backup, backup, backup their data always. I was beginning to wonder if I might be OCD about it, this just confirms that I am sane after all. OK, maybe not completely but atleast in that area :-)

As for advise, I personally keep 1 320gb, 3 500gb, a 750gb, and a few small 60gb to 120gb USB drives and most of them are back ups of backups. I also write to DVD's (always 2) when I get a sizeable group of pictures or for specific countries, shoots, or whatever. Good luck in the future and hope you always remember.

Backup
