I think I pay $50 annually to have all of my files backed-up offsite, in real time. It's &quot;saved my life&quot; once in the last year when I accidentally deleted, oh, the most important files on my drive. Then for a little more money I save a mirror image of my drive once a week to my own external drive. So glad your story had a happy ending!</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/1374/47112016-03-01T13:11:38ZSursumCorda<p>I highly recommend downloading your own copy of Recuva (or another data recovery program of your choice). It's free and <a href="http://www.piriform.com/recuva/features/portable-version" rel="nofollow noopener">the portable version I used</a> can reside on a flash drive so you don't need to install anything on your computer. It's like a fire extinguisher, or life insurance: you hope never to need it, but if you do, you'll be mighty glad to have it.</p>
