In the news there was a story this week about a woman suing BestBuy over the loss of her data and pictures on her laptop that she brought in for service. The case is one that has gained national attention on just how safe your precious files and pictures are when you take your PC or laptop into a reputable shop and they wipe out all your memories. Even over secured networks using CAT5e cable there are still chances of data loss. The home PC and laptop are becoming as common as the TV and people use their home computers for surfing the internet, doing their taxes, and storing valuable documents and pictures. It always makes me worry since all we take are digital pictures and we store them on our PC. I do try and backup often, but in the event of a bad virus or malicious spyware that could take out years of memories.
