Sounds like a mess. Aren't you supposed to back up important stuff on a disc or something. (Look who's giving computer advice). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Anyways the Bahamas are way overrated. Cheer up, it could be worse. It could be raining.

Signatures don't really mean anything either. Just say that you were not aware of the implications regarding possible data loss. Hand them an approximate value of the legitimatly aquired data and ask them to settle. If they don't, then turn up the heat.

Standard procedure, always to do that.
Just like in remodeling when the people still live there, on Fridays always cut the water lines so they have no water over the weekend. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

There is a lot of data on my computer at home, but the only stuff I would _really_ lament loosing would be my music and picture library. So, that stuff gets backed up, and is mirrored on 2 different machines. Even though my older PC has no speakers and was de-authorised to play iTunes stuff, I still use it as a big back up drive for pictures and music.
Any documents that I have are mostly unimportant. I guess I should save my current flow diagrams and things like that. But for the most part, papers that I wrote last year are not going to be important to me. Lost game files just means I get to play more. reinstalling applications is a PITA, but its not the end of the world. But yeah, for the future... Anyhting that you don't want to loose should be backed up, and anyhting that you _really_ don't want to loose should be backed up on multiple media (CD - second hard drive - etc.) Zach |
