Earlier this week I lost access to an external HHD that holds a massive amount of music, videos, photos, personal docs, big spreadsheets. No recent backup... only way too old partial exists. Not a good start to my day. Damn you, Byrd.
Messed around a bit with no luck getting access. Returned later, prepared to rebuild my budget. Wo! The drive was back. I immediately backed up to the internal HHD and SSD drives, and after that a new SSD I bought last year and stupidly never put it to use.
I'm backed up now!
