    Take a backup !!!!!!!!!

    I spent years in IT and as a result most of my photographer friends come to me with the computer problems. The most common problem is when they have had a mishap and have lost their pictures. The reasons vary but the common thread is THEY DON'T HAVE A BACKUP.
    Disc is cheap. An external 6TB drive will cost you less than £150. That will store a stack of pictures and costs less than a lens.
    Be WARNED. The number of times I have had to say to the person, 'Sorry there is little or no chance of recovering your files.
