A year ago I transcribed 90% of a set of letters from a great great uncle who died at the Somme. Then I went back to work & didn't get back to it. Since then my computer has died, but thats ok, I had back ups. So I thought I'd pull it up, finish it off and format it this break. Unfortunately the only back up I can find only has the 1st letter typed up plus the start of the second. There's 17 pages of this stuff. Let all go back to square one. Pausing now to back up again.
While backing up, I found a backed up folder that was titled "manually backed up files" the date is post the transcribing of the letters....and I backed up the family tree stuff, but not the folder with the transcribed stuff in it - sigh.

You really should use Dropbox for things you want to keep.
a copy of this came preinstalled on my new computer...but not on my old one. I have finally now set it up and put the 2gig of important files on it. Somewhat after the horse bolted.
