Hello Fellow Tech Enthusiasts,
Here in the Service Department at Small Dog, we often have to deliver bad news about what has gone wrong with your computer and how much it will cost to fix. Hopefully, all of you out there have purchased AppleCare as it is the best extended warranty out there and will pay for all hardware failures (unless they are caused by accidental damage). What AppleCare can’t do, however, is get your data back in the case of a hard drive failure. See my picture on the left. If I lost this and the hundreds (maybe thousands?) of other photos of my kids, I would be devastated.
With that in mind, Erich and Kevin bring us two articles this week about backing up your data, followed by an article from Nate about his favorite USB flash drives, which is one possible place to store your backups.
