I've lost a glove, misplaced tickets to a concert, and temporarily lost my ATM card. As frustrating as this may seem, there's nothing worse than losing all of your information on your computer. I'm a pack rat when it comes to saving files on my computer.  If I think I might need it again, I save it.  I am a digital hoarder! The first step is to admit you have a problem. Right?

When you are a digital hoarder, you create well descriptive directory folders on your computer to help you manage your files.  I pride myself on the way I have organized my personal pictures, presentations, and charts. If I have saved it on my computer, it will not take me long to find it. 

As a digital hoarder, you depend on technology mainly your hard drive to work. Recently, I had a hard  drive failure that really stop me in dead in my tracks.  I didn't have a good backup and recovery plan.  I didn't have a scheduled backup plan and when I remembered to backup my system I often put it off telling myself I would get to it later.  Well, I've learned my lesson. I have found a few backup options for my files that I would like to share.
