Backup to External Flash Drive - Thank You, Ruby

Back Up Hard Drive
Verbatim Hard Drive




















What have I been doing today, you might ask??? Well, a little while ago, a friend of mine lost all of her files on her computer, but fortunately had most of them backed up on disks. This served as a HUGE warning to me, and I have spent all afternoon backing up our "C" drive onto an external 320GB flash hard drive, which we purchased for $119.00.

I would just like to say thank you, dear Ruby for the incentive to actually "just do it"! I have been procrastinating over backing up our hard drive for ages, but this afternoon I went to the Windows site and actually read how to do it. It took about two hours to backup to external flash HDD, but it will be well worth the effort if our computer crashes.

I love Ruby's blog, as it is so full of interesting and lively posts. "You haven't met her, yet", I hear you say. Well, don't delay, she just might have something that will help you in your walk with God, or maybe she might just save your computer files from destruction. Ruby, I thank you once again from the bottom of my ♥!

{Blushing} Thanks for the wrap up ♥
I am pleased that our disaster was of practical use to someone else.
I too tried to "just do it" today and plan to make this my holiday motto!
I might just get stuff done!

Hi Ruby,
You're very welcome! :D Credit earned where credit is due.

Your motto helped to motivate me today, and believe me, it's so hard to get motivated this close to the end of the school year.

Tomorrow we are hoping to spend some time in the garden tidying up and trimming plants back, and can you believe it, it's supposed to be raining with thunderstorms! :P

Oh well, it will all happen in God's good time.

Have a great week, my friend, and I am proud to call you my friend. ♥
Blessings,
Jillian
