   Dear users of phones, tablets, computers, cameras and other instruments which contains data that might be important to you.

   Make fucking backups. For the love of what ever you believe in. Copy your dearest and most important files and or documents somewhere else that in case one device goes *poof* you have something you can get back to.

   And please, please, please do it regularly.

   You will thank your future YOU later.

     And actually test the process of recovering from backups...

     I have seen a business lose critical systems when it turned out their "backups" only filled one dvd... and left an essentially unrecoverable open file...
