I typically just backup data files from my C drive to my D drive, which under normal circumstances worked fine.  But not this time; I paid dearly this weekend.  The nasty virus attack that got by Norton cleaned my boot record and utterly destroyed my C and D drive partitions.  Yes, these two drives are on the same physical HDD \u2013 I know, not very smart.<\/p>\n<p>I think I slept a couple of hours this morning after trying, and trying, and trying some more to recover the data.  The loss of the email is brutal ? I have years of documents, contacts, and just all around important stuff.  I especially feel bad for my wife because she just lost so much of her legal work.<\/p>\n<p>So I guess I am just feeling a little sorry for myself, but I figured I would do the public service thing by reminding everyone of the importance of regular backups!<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I should have seen this coming.
