Disaster! My laptop's hard drive has completely died, taking all the data with it. I have some backups, but the most recent is from May this year. At least I did a more recent backup of my mail file in the days before the crash so that'll be a bonus.
Thankfully, laptop hard drives are a lot cheaper than they used to be - I've replaced the original 60 gig drive with an 80 gig. The original install of Windows is back on, now I've got the fun job of installing all my programs and restoring data from the May backup...
Even though we all know on an intellectual level that backups are important, why it is human nature to put off doing them because "I've never needed it in the past"? I think it might be time to become a little more self-disciplined about backing my data up...
