How many of ya'll are talking backups of your system? Documents, Project files, photos, emails etc .... I guess not many. Even if some takes backups majority of them never even look at those. But as a habit I have been taking backups of my stuff since 2002. So I have a huge pile of CDs + DVDs with just backups. Actually never had to fully restore any of these. But there were couple of times where i had to extract some files from the backups.

Last week suddenly I got a mail from an old customer of mine requesting some info about a website I did for him about 5 years back. Luckily I had all the emails related to this project in an old PST backup. and thanks to Advanced File Organizer from www.softprime.com i was able to find it in no time. This small tool Advanced File Organizer is the first piece of software I purchased a long time back for about $50 and it's fully worth it.

So after all ... backups are dang! important. In case if you haven't taken any ... I suggest that you do :)
