Cheers. I had LOADS of photos, but discovered to my horror that, despite setting up my MacBookAir to back up daily, when the SSD completely died, when I "restored" the replacement SSD, ALL my photos and lots more besides, weren't there =~] What do you mean by a "show and tell"?

Bet that was fun! About 8yrs ago, Jondor was kicked off the mooring I'm on now as her tanks were up to knee deep in solidified black oil, so deemed to be a potential environmental hazard. Between then and me buying her, all the oil was removed by hand using shovels and buckets. So... I was able to return here. She also stopped carrying oil in the early 1980's and petroleum spirit decades before then, so sadly, no explosive vapours to ignite =~{Worked easy enough on an old mk2 ford cortina me and some mates had years ago
I worked with disabled and special needs for a while and thought they would love to see how you built the vessel that they are on. Some nice photos dotted around aswell would give good topics to talk about.
I don't trust any of these cloud things I back up all my important files and photos to sticks, dvds and also to 2 separate laptops I keep in different places in case of theft and/or damage

I was backing up to a 4TB external drive each time it was connected. There were gazillions of backups...every 15mins or so...but, sadly, for some reason, it wasn't backing everything up, despite me being sure that was the case. Crap happens...all too regularly in my case... Hahaha!
What a bummer. Don't let it get you down but carry on with the good work

I'm from Lancashire...we're carved from granite! SuperLanc!
Im from Yorkshire, thick as a brick
Hardest rock I ever saw was down pit. We came across an old washed out river bed that had solidified. A Dosco dintheader tunnelling m/c couldn't touch it. Tunnel had to be abandoned and started afresh elsewhere

OUCH! Must've been an Lanc intrusion! That must have been a huge financial drawback I imagine.

Wise words Keith. I just set to backup every 15mins and thought (resisted saying assumed) the job was a good one. I could see the numerous backups so felt assured that my stuff was secure.

In my day it was standard practice with business computers to finish the working day with a back up.

Did that when I had my own business. My ex-wife was an excellent IT guru and she always had everything hunky-dory.
Was she wide beamed as well?
She was indeed!
I have extra internal drives and a few external.
