Some people recommend emailing a copy of your document to yourself so you have one more backup.

My computer seems to be on the brink and until we can afford a new one it will have to live, so I am a down loading fool, to my flash card, to CD to the iomega. I have even gone as far as to e-mail the firle I am working on to myself. A little parinoid I know. I wish you all the luck!Sabine Berlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862653993925899285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31281717.post-27130162956553309472008-05-28T22:54:00.000-07:002008-05-28T22:54:00.000-07:00That is so sad Tristi!!

I back up onto my flash drive every time I make a change in a file. If the file names are too long, sometimes the system will not be able to read them. Sometimes you can change the name of a file - making it shorter, and it will recover. My portable harddrive fits in a shirt pocket and runs off of the USB port - no other power is needed. I definately recommend that model. It is very useful, since I work on my laptop a lot and transfer data back and forth between it and my desktop. I hope my suggestions aren't so much like shutting the barn door after the horses are out. Hang in there and good luck!Davis L.

If it makes you feel better, I sent out Cybeles Gift today priority mail (you should have it by Thurs or Fri) and the last 100 or so pages really are good! :) I'd tell you to go eat chocolate to make it all better, but you don't do that anymore.

I suggest you get an external hard drive and back up everything from your computer into this hard drive. It's much easier to rebuild the computer if you have this. good luckRebecca https://www.blogger.com/profile/00945969129138214472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31281717.post-66528045145836440022008-05-27T20:05:00.000-07:002008-05-27T20:05:00.000-07:00oooo tristi, my heart aches for you. i so hope yo...oooo tristi, my heart aches for you. i so hope you get access to your precious words from your books again, especially the things you have absolutely no other copy of. so sorry, kathleensogratefultobemormon.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141321969690842348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31281717.post-61278827859477153232008-05-27T17:59:00.000-07:002008-05-27T17:59:00.000-07:00Oh wait.

It's an online writing system & it stores all your stuff separately from your hard drive (out there in the mysterious world called cyber-space). I love it cause my co-authors and I can be on the docs at the same time, making edits & we can see what we are each doing. We have backups of everything on our own computers as well as on Google Docs. <BR/><BR/>I'm so very very sorry. I understand how frustrating it is.
