The best $12.99 we spent...

So earlier this year our hard drive on our computer crashed and we lost everything that was on our computer. Thankfully, all of our digital pictures (12,000+) were stored on our external hard drive and that worked just fine...until yesterday that is. Our external hard drive died - Brian says it was the 'clicks of death'. Thankfully, when our computer died a few months ago, I realized I would be devastated if I lost all of our digital pictures of Morgan and Matthew growing up. After some advice from my IT guy at work (thanks a MILLION Kevin) we went with backupright.com. It costs us $12.99 a month, but it is WORTH every penny. After Matthew was born it took about 8-9 days of uploading our files 24 hours a day to backupright--well worth the effort. I am still hoping we can salvage our hard drive, but because of backupright.com, we will be able to restore all 12,000 of our digital pics and other files we backed up.

Take our advice - back up your files!!! If you have a better way to do it than we do, please let us know. Hopefully you won't have the horrible computer luck that we do...
