As a consultant who travels a lot my laptop is the most important tool in my work. It has all my clients information and project data, stuff I cannot live without. Well the horror hit home one day, I arrived at a client site, power up and behold blue screen, no login, no data … the inevitable. At the airport security check-in earlier that morning the person in front had knocked my laptop off the conveyor ...shucks. This incident cost me the entire week of data reconstruction on a new laptop I had to rush out and purchase and significant client “billable” downtime.
Guess what 6 months later, I attended a trade show… left my laptop on the floor of a rented SUV. I thought it was pretty secure tucked halfway under the rear seat and unseen behind the tinted windows…. WRONG!! When I returned the front and rear windows smashed, computer case and laptop gone. Only this time it was not just the laptop but other personal valuables, checkbook, credit cards, finance records, passport. Now I have an identity theft issue as well … because weeks later $thousands was missing from my checking account and I had some exorbitant credit card bills to deal with…..THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW!!
Now I have my laptop securely backed up with an automatic online backup service that backs me up from any internet connection anywhere in the world, no matter where I travel and I never have to think about it because it is automatic. And my data is secure and encrypted. Recovery is also quick and easy.. I have recovered lost files within minutes….
