    I was paranoid about losing files on my pc so I had 2 hard drives, one main one and a back up drive.
    One day Windows XP died on me and I had to reinstall it.
    I was absolutely horrified to find Windows had formatted both drives !
    I did have a couple of DVD's with some stuff on but I lost a lot of files.

    Since then I also back up to the cloud (onedrive), to DVD's, to flash drives and to a back up hard drive.

    I remember in the mid 1980's when PC's first came out.
    My work pc had one of the first hard drives, about 32 megabytes !
    I got a floppy through the post on working out my chances of getting AIDS.
    I ran the floppy and found afterwards the AIDS program had deleted all the files off my hard drives.
    That must of been one of the first virus programs out.
    In those days everything was backed up on floppies anyway so it was OK.
    Just a nuisance loading all the floppies back on the hard drive.
