Recovering lost data

After nearly a year since my laptop crashed, Debbie informed me that her husband had recovered my data and had uploaded them onto his server.

I was glad to get back the data since I had pictures of my travel which I had not edited and family pictures. Downloading 8 gb took longer than expected since some files were corrupted and interrupted downloading. I had to manually checked which files were missing and downloaded those which were not corrupted.

Lesson 1: Always back up your files frequently.

Lesson 2: Don't give up when people who were trained in IT told you that it would be very hard and expensive to recover the data.

Thanks to Mr. Giam!
