Paul, Most of us have experienced hard disk crashes, sorry to hear about yours. My solution is to put all my photos and data on a RAID 1 (mirrored) array. Data are saved to both disks and, in the event that one dies, the data is still available on the other. You buy another disk to replace the failed drive, the RAID controller rebuilds the dataset and you are backed up on 2 disks again. It is also prudent to back up data off site of possible. Cloud backup is useful for this but not to rely upon exclusively. John Freitag
