My External Drive Backup Boo Boo

   Posted by: jude   in Mature Not Senile Misc

I posted a while back about getting an external drive and backing up my computer and programs so I could roll my pc all the way back, which I did. However I just tried to use my external drive for a program that I had previously and found out that when I backed it up I didn’t have my computer checked so guess what? I lost all of those programs. Sometimes I worry about my mind.

I have passwords written down everywhere and haven’t gotten around to making a list and have them all in one handy place because I forget a lot. I had to redownload the FTP program that I use and of course I had to search out my ftp address, user names and passwords before I could even use it. I thought I had everything secure with the external, what a ditz.

I guess I need to get organized again because you can’t get anything done when  everything is chaotic so that will be my project for today, hopefully unless I get sidetracked again. I recently improved my workspace and got that all straightened out and thought I had everything else under control, but now I will have to try and remember the programs that I absolutely need and try and find them again.

Have a great day I’m not sure how great mine is going to be. It’s not good to frustrate yourself so early in the morning, but I’m sure I’ll get over it.

How frustrating! Hope you can recover them somehow. I don’t even know what an external drive is!

oh that doesn’t sound like fun. I’m the same way with passwords and stuff. I have a notebook on my desk that I use problem is when I forget to write new stuff down.

Ugh! At least you have made the big step in getting an external hard drive! We’ve had two computers crash and the external hard drive saved us! Be sure to save to it regularly (like once a month) to avoid disasters. Oh, I use a manual Rolodex on my desk to remember all those passwords for everything! Don’t know what I’d do without it!

I laughed out loud–this is so ME! I did just get an external hard drive for my birthday, but all I’ve done so far is take it out of the package and look at it. And don’t get me started on passwords…!
