myfunnybunch Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The reading list I've been keeping on the computer is gone. All of the read-alouds and independent reading the boys have done since June have disappeared. The document is there, and the list is up-to-date until June. Then nothing. Dh just checked the backup, and the list is missing there, too. :crying: Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKim Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Not that this helps you get back what you lost already, but I regularly email things I don't want to lose to myself, just in case something should happen to both my computer and external (lightning strike?) at the same time. I know there are online options for saving things, but email works great for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP, so sorry. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 :confused: If lightning struck your computer, wouldn't your email be gone, too, since it's one your computer? OP, so sorry. :grouphug: Email can be accessed from computers outside the home. I can access mine from the desktop, laptop, Ipad or phone, so lightening won't wipe all of those put at once as I never have all of them plugged in at the same time. Or almost never. Emailing is a good idea. I've also done that. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto2Cs Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 :confused: If lightning struck your computer, wouldn't your email be gone, too, since it's one your computer? OP, so sorry. :grouphug: Yes, but you can access your email through any computer with internet, so it isn't as lost. OP, I am so sorry. My computer crashed hardcore a couple of years ago, and it took a computer tech friend a month to find most of everything again on the fried hard drive. I use an external drive now to back everything up (and immediately unplug it after adding things to it) AND email myself lists, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbi in Texas Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I understand all too well. I hope it gets magically restored to you. Today would be a good time for me to back up files in some way. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 It stinks when that happens. I lost every single photo of when my second ds was born and the whole first year of his life. Gone. No pictures of him as a little baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfarm Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Perhaps you could offer a dime per verified book that each of the dc can name?!? Just let them brainstorm and think about books they remembered reading themselves, siblings reading, or being read to some or all. Depending on whether you ordered the books online or through the library system, there might be a record there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 If some were from the library, you can check your history there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pictures of him as a little baby. How do you back up your pictures now? I'm terrifired that the house will burn down or something and I'll lose the pics and the backups at the same time. OP, do you need these for reporting requirements? I can't imagine trying to keep track of everything we read! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
