@ Forest – No doubt 80gb will fill up fast these days huh? It’s crazy to think that my first computer had a 40 MEG hard drive.. not gig.. MEG hahah

@ Buzz Reed – CD’s are good options and I would still use them as a second or third option! Never hurts to have more than one backup! Yes it has great instructions!

@ Donna – Backing up your stuff is VERY important.. especially if you’re a student!

@ Alexander – sorry you didn’t win! Keep checking back for more prizes!

@ Rich – You must have some serious data going on with that much space needed haha.. Yup, I can’t stress it enough.. people lose so much important stuff just because they don’t take time to backup!

@ Keries – ha.. yeah they crash for sure.. it’s happened to me more than once and i see it all the time working on others computers. Technology is definitely GREAT!

@ Nelson Tan – Hmmm.. i’ll definitely keep you in mind when I’m looking for software! Ya never know what I might have to trade!

@ Rich Hill – CommentLuv It’s a great plugin!

@ Karen Stavert – You should definitely check out the Storagepipe folks.. that is perfect for what you’re talking about as well and a great alternative or addition to a portable drive.

@ David – I didn’t even mention home videos and that sort of thing.. thanks for bringing that up! Using a large capacity portable hard drive would be great for that!

@ Nota Bean Consulting – haha.. sorry you didn’t win! Maybe you’ll win the next prize!

@ Karen – Plug and play drives are definitely the way to go!

@ Michelle – Glad to see you’re getting started on your backups!

@ Carole Zimmerman – CONGRATS again on being the winner! Hope you enjoy the blog!

@ Linda – Yup, i’ve seen it too many times.. folks say the were “going” to or they “meant” to but it was too late and they lost everything!

@ Thomas Anderson – Yeah i hear ya.. that look on their face is never a pretty site when I tell them they’re about to lose all their precious stuff!

@ T.A. Schlauch – Wow, you’ve got some serious data there and I can see where you would need a TB drive.. and like you said, we can always use the smaller ones for different things!

@ Maberick46 – I hope you get a backup soon so you don’t lose all your stuff!!

@ John – Sorry you didn’t win! Keep checking back for more prizes in the future!

@ Gloria – So sorry you didn’t make in the contest in time! Keep at it! Making money online is something we can all do if we are patient and persistent! Yes you surely need to backup your data.. i would hate for you to lose it!

What a great offering, and how generous of you!

I’m a senior (aged 77) living on Social Security only (with my husband). I’ve been on the computer awhile but haven’t yet made a dime online. I’ve only recently discovered that I need to back up items on my hard drive that I want to save!! OMG! if I lose those, I’m in deep trouble!

If I win the Iomega Hard Drive, I would be so thrilled, and I would immediately back up everything on my hard drive that needs saving. I’ll keep my fingers crossed!!

Thank you, Jake!

Gloria

Thanks for all the entries and comments! I’ll work on replying to everyone over the weekend!

Everybody have a SUPER weekend and good luck!

Thank you
