I lost some customer data today: I don’t know why it didn’t copy over but it didn’t. I suspect some virus crawled into the folder and one of the 4 anti-virus I ran on it deleted it.
Of course, customer goes berserk about ‘their entire school career’ and ‘years of tax data’ going missing, and I’m sitting there wondering what happened to the flash drive we gave them for free at the start of the class.
Then she says it: “I’d have backed up my files if I’d have known I was going to lose them.”

there is only one way to learn the importance of backing up.
2 if you count seeing somebody next to you go through it.
