But priority number one?So back to present past time: It was 12:30 AM on Saturday night / Sunday morning. Sitting on my couch in the living room, I closed the lid on my laptop - the core of my business and family income.
Five hours later, at 5:30 AM, I woke to the frantic screams of my wife. "John, the kitchen is on fire! Oh my god, our house is on fire!" We lost everything. Including my laptop and a lot of precious information.
Email addresses, new projects, software, my audio library.
Customer testimonials, purchase records, receipts, passwords, bookmarks and more.Fortunately a lot of it was backed up. Well, at least the guts of my business.
