Well the good news is I found a utility to restore deleted partitons. It worked like a charm, but set me back $50. But it was worth it to recover my freelance work, my resume, etc. etc.
All this recent comptuer stuff has put me into high gear backing stuff up. I’m going to do a weekly backup for now and eventually scale it back to monthly. I also eventually want to totally automate it. For now, I’m backing up this stuff:
My Documents folder
Outlook exported .PST file that has both email folders and contacts
Outlook Rules Wizards
Outlook Email Accounts
IE Bookmarks
IE Cookies
I’m dumping that all to a CD-RW and updating that on a weekly basis til I make sure that the Dell has stabilized. Once I’m fairly certain of that, I’ll scale it back to a monthly backup.
Everyone really should backup, cause ya never know when this stuff is gonna go.
