I store on external drives and even on CD's all my photos and my GIMP or PS tools that I accumulate! I have also some stuff of importance on Cloud with no problems so far! Lovely rose and of course, cutie patootie Pogo! I also thank you for the freebies. I did not turn my computer on at all yesterday! LOL! Hugs for a terrific day despite the computer problems!

If still so, you could go there for your pictures and download them. May be an idea?<br />Don't know anything about cloud storage, and I am as The Queen Jester, seldom or never do any backup. I know, it's not a good thing, but I am too lazy for it I think. I do try to put my kits and sometimes resources on cd. And I also made some files from resources and uploaded them to Mediafire. <br />But as soon as you are ready for it, I gladly will make files for you from the resources I have and upload them so you can download them. And e.g. pictures of Pogo, you can go to your blog too and save the images from there. Probably not the best quality as the original ones, but you will have them.<br />But who knows, may be Wayne can retrive something from the disc?<br />I know it feels aweful loosing all your stuff, somehow you feel floating on a big sea, not knowing where to go.<br />Going to post now, you still have a great day,<br />Hugs<br />Kyrasmiekeltjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16375937338027468675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836896508271015450.post-66774410257413243102012-09-25T22:43:24.565-04:002012-09-25T22:43:24.565-04:00Oh Edna, I’m sad to hear about the drive crash! I...Oh Edna, I’m sad to hear about the drive crash! In this day and age we all have so many important and precious digital files. The loss of a hard drive can be almost as devastating as what a natural disaster can do to your home.<br /><br />I'm behind on my backups, but I use extended hard drives and CDs for storage. Generally I have 2 copies of everything to use. Do you do a hard drive back up? If you do and include picture and art files, you can salvage those. I did an accidental delete of too many files once and was able to retrieve a lot of files I didn't even realize I had backed up with a system restore. The only things I really have in cyber storage are scrapbook freebies I’ve made and some photos on flickr, but I'm a little leery about security with personal files and documents.<br /><br />I’d read up on cloud storage companies and make sure you pick one that has a good security record. I have some free cloud space with my virus software contract, but not enough for my full backup and I just can’t afford to purchase more right now. So I do my backups on an EDH.<br /><br />As far as retrieval of information, serious thought; try seeing if there is a computer club at the local community college. Someone might take on trying to retrieving your info. I was blown away with the knowledge of some of my classmates in my security class that were in the club at school. They are geek hobbyists and love a challenge.<br /><br />Great big hugs, Nani<br />Nanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376476093305279684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836896508271015450.post-47277913258440705112012-09-25T20:20:20.474-04:002012-09-25T20:20:20.474-04:00I too use CDs & thumb drives to back up my inf...I too use CDs & thumb drives to back up my info. I recently tried using DVDs and, while the files burned to the DVDs without problems, I could not retrieve any of the files I'd saved. Hope you are healing from your fall.

I really need to improve my habits on that. Sorry about the loss of the photos. Did you take it anywhere to find out if they really are still there on the hard drive? It's amazing what those geeks can do.The Queen Jesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13133216264041443311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836896508271015450.post-66762749717438839072012-09-25T16:06:26.857-04:002012-09-25T16:06:26.857-04:00I think we all know that pain you are feeling over...I think we all know that pain you are feeling over losing everything. Those pictures and artwork are a part of you. I lost the first year of Izzi's puppy pictures and it still makes me sad. Forturnately I had a few that were in print and my granddaughter had some too. I also found some on an internet program I had used to make a slideshow for my friends blog ... that was a treat when I ran across those. Have you used anything like that? Maybe you could go back and find the things you saved there. I am trying to think of the name of it, but,being an old poop, I probably won't remember until next week sometime. If I do, I'll send it to you :)<br /><br />What are you using to post on your blog? I assume your computer must be working, it is just your storage that crashed, right? I hate to say it, but I have a Seagate hard drive that I am putting my backup on ... now I am nervous about it. My husband doesn't want me to put anything out in cyberspace for storage ... he doesn't trust that it will be safe. I am much more wreckless than he is, but then, I think he overdoes the "not safe" thing too. Oh well, I take it from day to day ... here's hoping. <br /><br />At least you know you can count on Pogo ... he will be there for you when you need him. Hope you have fun at your Camera Club tonight ... maybe someone there will have some suggestions. You never know :) Need to go, have much to catch up on around here. There is always a price to pay when you go away for a few days.
