What happened

One drive, no copies. It failed on a Tuesday. Recovery quotes started at €2,400 and none of them worked. Seven years of photos and client files gone.

What it cost

€2,400

Time lost

7 years of files

Emotional cost

Sickening

What I learned

A file that exists in one place does not exist. Set up automatic backup today, not after you finish what you are doing.
