Back Up Your Major Work (1 Viewer)

[timmay05]

Remember to back up your work. Every time you do something new print it off. Don't say "it's too late at night i'll print it tomorrow" because you might end up like me and decide not to print it because it is 11:30pm. Then the next morning you wake up and try and print it - and the PC has lost its hard drive. Then you try data recovery, and you get EVERYTHING back EXCEPT for a few files - and within these few you don't get back is your major work.

At least I have frequently printed hard copies.

But 800 words from one night of drafting is alot to lose. SO don't put off your printing! For your own sake!!!

Amen to that! That happened to me at the beginning of this term and I lost about 1000 words. PRINT PRINT PRINT people and back up 29372138721 times.

I send myself a copy of my major work by email everytime i do something significant to it. So it's always backed up externally
