Back up your work!!

[ratherastory]

A friend just had her laptop stolen with a bunch of stories/drafts/notes on top of all the other stuff on there. I think this is as good a time as any to make a public service announcement to you, dear flist, to back up your content. Do it now! If you don't have somewhere to back it up, buy, beg or borrow a flash drive, or email it to yourself using a free web mail like gmail.

Seriously, back up your shit, you will be glad you did.

Ugh, so scary! I feel like my laptop is the most easily and attractively stealable thing in my apartment, so I've been hiding it under a pillow or something most days just in case. I mean, I don't think there's a big problem with break-ins, but if somebody ever did break in here my concerns would be the cats and then the laptop. Thanks for the reminder about backing up. I'm sorry that happened to your friend!
