We all hear warnings about data loss and the need to backup. Fortunately, I have never experienced a catastrophic loss. However, noted affiliate marketer Chris Carpenter recently did experience a complete loss of both his laptop and both of his external backup drives. Chris used two external backup drives for redundancy in case one of them failed, but he did not plan for a fire.
The lesson – back up your data to DVD or to an external drive and keep your backup in a separate location!
