Disaster – Part Two

Maybe disaster is too great a word. On the downside, I didn’t have any good version of my file. I back my jump drive to my c: drive and my c: drive backs up automatically to my external drive, but all three files had the corruption. I don’t know how long ago it happened, but it was before all the backups occurred. On the plus side, only a few pages need to be rewritten, as not as much of my file was damaged as I though.

Disaster!

I was just working on my new novel over lunch (more on this later), revising bits here and there, and there is a huge chunk, about a chapter and a half that is corrupted. I have backups at home, so hopefully one of them has the missing part. I don’t want to have to rewrite it. It just goes to show you. Back up often. Back up multiple places. Back up with varying names.
