[QUOTE="MoonMind, post: 381261, member: 5637"] I'm a day late, but this is worth telling :eek: Yesterday, out of the blue, two of my hard drives (I have quite a lot) gave up the ghost; not entirely, but they're unreadable. I'll try to recover them - so far, so good. But it turns out that in the last couple of months, I completely forgot to do the manual backups those drives usually get and need (they don't run permanently, so it's no real help to automate backups on them). Which means that in the worst of cases, I'll lose all RAW files stored after December 25th, 2019. Everything. Luckily, I have copies of all *posted* images in the cloud (or at least over 90%). It's so easy to forget the obvious in the face of the pressing or oppressing. This time, that fact may bite me in the behind ... M. [/QUOTE]
