Primal Decals 621 Posted May 15, 2017 Its funny and sad you mention this ..I do my backups regularly and well i just bought another external SSD to back up my other backup and well, my backup fried, I do photography as well and i just lost all my work from 2005 on. Over 10,000 images gone,All my photoshoots,landscapes,wildlife etc Gone. No chance of recovery.I am really at a loss,everything i have taken pictures of that are not on Facebook or other sites are no longer mine to see except for what i have had printed on my walls as well. Im at a total loss for words. What other source of backups is suggested without having to break the bank .? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted May 15, 2017 Primal - our photos are on the computer, NAS and at least 2 other hard drives that are not connected except for back up - one should be offsite but I haven't gotten that far yet. Just cloned the printer computer and need to do the main one soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted May 15, 2017 A few years back I had a back-up fail also...an S**gate storage drive. Phoned them to see if there was anything I could do. They wanted $600 to recover the files....or I could purchase a program from them to do this for $99. Well, long-story-short, I did get the program and it ran for about 24 hours...... but it did recover a good 90% of the files. So, maybe a phone call to complain about the back-up failure will help you. Sue2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
