Back - Up Your Photos!

My husband is a nerd, he is my nerd but a nerd none the less… we have been “talking” about different ways to backup our computers for a couple of years now with no real results.  It is just by sheer luck I have not lost all of my photos by now because I probably have not put any on DVD in about 6 months.

I have been listening to http://www.paperclipping.com/category/roundtable/ since it began and a couple of weeks ago they had a product pick being http://mozy.com/home I sent Mike an email asking him to look into this company as a possible solution for our backup needs.  Here is where the waiting began……

So tonight I am listening to PCRT again and they had a  reminder about backing up your system and the idea of a National Back – Up Day.  Well I decided to put on my big girl panties and just do this my self.  So I now have an account and I am able to back up my entire computer automatically, and without worry of losing my photos forever.  I have my account set up to back up my computer at night when I am least likely to be using it (stop laughing I know it is 4:30 in the morning now!)  so it is a real no brainer to getting this done.  If I can do this by myself so can you! 

SOOOOOO, here is what I need from you, please, please stop scrapbooking for one day and back-up your computers. You can use an online service or your own system I just feel like it is time to stop for one day and get this done.  Life happens and I do not know about you but if something happened to my photos I would be crushed and even that did not stop me from being lax in my backing up of data.  Consider it a life insurance policy for your memories.   Now that I am done with backing up my computer I am going to resume my scrapbooking fun. 

As a reminder:  CROP NIGHT IS THIS SATURDAY at 6:00 pm. 

See you there!
