	I did back my FTM up ..sometimes .... bad news should have done it more often I have lost a lot of work cos I lost me hard drive. Not only about 500 rellies have I lost but a lot of photos attached to my FTM aswell as in my photo file of recent ones. ( including my Dads funeral) I have lost the last year of my poetry everything I wrote for Dad and silly ones for my dogs. Everything I didn't back up away from my pc has gone.

	Jac so am I, so stupid that I had a whole load of Staniforth parish records, I had.... tuts no point on that lot might take me a year or so but I hopefully will find it all again. It's me photos and poetry I realize that I have lost, some of the photos are ancient and I can't ask for them back as the person who sent is no more. This is not a sad me just a BACK your work up at all stages

	Jac, did you not have them on GR

	Uzzi, is the hard drive beyond repair? Keep hold of it just in case it can be fixed one day. Is there someone else you can get the photos from? ie a relative of theirs?

	I am so sorry (: What an awful thing to happen. I'm very lazy at backing up but after your story I shall do it tomorrow. Jean.

	Monty not all were Gr and some are no longer with us. SRS my PC man says it is wiped off he has spent 5days trying to find and as given me the old hard drive but he says it is dead. Jean it is my own fault that I didn't back my FTM up earlier but I never thought about my poetry or photos or the stuff which I had been sent. If it makes you do it then this thread was worth my disgrace of not backing up

	Awwww Uzzi how horrible for you:( I learned my lesson the hard way too and now back everything up regularly. xx

	Kitty I thought I did sighs but not enough obviously and not as often as I should have done or as much. Live and learn it is my own fault edits to say I thought they could access the hard drive mind

	Have you kept your old emails? Are they online? Perhaps some of them contain the info you have been sent? You must be gutted...
Member Since: August 2006 Posts: 13,135 Send Message	UzziAndHerDogs	Report	18 May 2009 19:47
	SRS my hubby despaired with me about keeping e-mails 38pages of them I just hope that I have kept important ones, but I fear that I had started deleting. When I get another copy Of FTM ( I lost that also ) I shall try to rebuild . Same as I shall check all sites for my poetry etc . I will get a lot (?) some back it will just take time.
