What Matters Monday
Good Morning! Mary (littlehiccup) here to motivate you on this fine Monday morning. I know we have had posts on this topic before, but it is always good to have a reminder: SAVE, SAVE, SAVE. l am sure we have all been there where we are working on a painstaking extraction or a very detailed and labor intensive LO, and all of the sudden our program freezes. I know I have. Well, think if something like that were to happen to all of your digital LOs and supplies. Think of the hours and cost of your precious gigabytes. So today (or when you have a few spare hours)…I want you to back up your scrapbooking files and folders. There are many ways of course that you can do this, and we’ve heard a few here on this site. Jeni wrote a great entry on this topic last November.
Read Jeni’s Blog Post.
And for the record, I wouldn’t ask you to do anything I haven’t done already myself. I spent quite a few hours (in between chores and things) this weekend backing up all of my supplies and LOs. And it feels so good!

Great tip! I actually finally did the same and signed up for an online back up service. I’ve got all my pics & most of my LO’s backed up disks – telling myself that those were the most important – but I know I’d totally be heartbroken if I lost any of my other things too – so I took the plunge!
Thanks for the reminder – we all need this once in a while!

Hi Mary,
My dh bought me an 500G ehd for Christmas, so I have already done this…the key is to remember to do it weekly or monthly or at least quarterly! You never know when you might have a hard drive failure or power surge. I am so happy dh was so thoughtful! What is especially nice with this particular model, is that I can take it to the laptop and hook it up, working from there and my pc! way cool!
