This week I’ve had a bunch of computer problems, including an external hard drive that failed to power-up. This was a back-up drive, so it wasn’t too critical an issue, until I realized that this was the only place I had the full res versions of my coverage from our trip last summer to Sequoia National Park. Doh!
I’m surprised at myself to have let my DVD back-up process slip through the cracks on this. I called several data recovery centers, and got quotes starting at $1,500.00. That would have been a tough decision, as all but a few shots would be irreplaceable. Fortunately, the problem was not with the drive itself, but the power in the case, so all is safe. I immediatley copied this set of images to another disk. – That’ll teach me!
