Recovering your Data

In this day and age most of us in one way or another will probably have some form of data that is important to us and if lost will cause us at a minimum some sort of hardship. Unfortunately most of us don't realize the importance of backing up our data till it is to late, at which point we end up running around like lunatics trying to figure out if we can recover the data "which in turn normally means enlisting the help of experts who are horrendously expensive"

This is one of those things were provention wins hands down over trying to fix the problem after the fact. A little like Aids!

What kind of data should we backup? For most people it will be pretty simple photos, music, your CV and other documents which would cause you some pain if you lost.

For some of us it is our whole lively hood that depends on it, webmasters and those of us that run business which rely on a database a loss of data to this group of people can be disastrous..
