If You Lost All Your Work…
If you’re a freelancer or run your own business, it is important to know how well you would cope after something like a computer crash where all your work is lost.
If your income relies on you having work, then when you lose everything you need to know how well you can get back into gear.
Dave Navarro [of FreelanceFolder] runs through three steps that you’ll need to have a plan for in case something goes horribly wrong.
There are three things that slow you down when it comes to getting back in business after an unrecoverable computer crash (or the dreaded laptop theft):
1. Replacing the computer 2. Setting up all your software and settings (again!) 3. Getting your data back on the machine

It wasn’t that long ago I did loose all my work. My hard disk went bang! No backups! I had to start again. Ths computer shop restored all the basic software. Luckily, I had keep all my s/w links, CD’s and passwords but I lost all my work docs and the families photos. I was in the dog house for several days. Now Friday nights are ‘backup’ nights, without fail.

I know exactly how you feel Andrew. Just been a day since I had my laptop stolen. And no back-ups anywhere in sight. Feel like such an a**.
Anywho, have to get back on track.
