Students: Back up your data!

Can you imagine losing everything on your computer?

Every song, every photo, every paper that you've ever written?

It happens every month at the tech desk. Hard drives die - usually we can recover data, but sometimes we cannot. At that point, we ask:

Did you have everything backed up?

Most people do not back up their data, and there is nothing that we can do.

How can you prevent this scenario?

Buy an external hard drive, and regularly back up your data. We would be happy to help you at the tech desk with any other suggestions. Buy a drive before you need it! The Tech Desk will not restore data for computers at the desk!
