Well....it finally happened to me....after so many years....decades....a 6 month old Seagate 2TB external portable USB 3.0 died and with it a ton of data that I did not have backed up. ( I haven’t had to deal with a HDD failure in so long but nowadays a failure is disastrous due to the sheer amount of data we accumulate)

Well...no...my 1000s of photos are on google photos and my mp3 collection is backed up at the parents computer.

But...lost a ton of mkv mp4 etc....luckily the vast majority are still available.
Also, tons of historical stuff....gone pooooof

So...how do you handle backing up of precious data...do you back it up twice on 2 different mediums?

...and in the event of another catastrophic failure...what data recovery software has worked for you?!
