As I toy with marketing materials for my life sciences practice, I had a nasty moment when I thought my promotional literature templates had been deleted… just found them! WHEW!

This is why they have external hard drives! Back up, back up, back up! That's my mantra. I back up on Google Drive and an external hard drive. Belt and suspenders.

And I'm glad you found them!

You definitely want multiple backups of everything related to your business. A computer can crash, an external drive can get corrupted, or the cloud can be unavailable, so you need to be able to pivot quickly without losing any information or any sales. You can never have too many backup options, especially as a small business owner.

I totally agree! Our Stone Age iMac suffered a hissy fit a month ago and wouldn't boot. On it were some valuable business files and some precious family memories. We took it to the Genius Bar who fixed it for us gratis, but as the only external HDDs I have are used by myself for backups, I ended up using my laptop as a life raft for the important files.
