Tao Of Backup Wailing Wall Story

Handheld computers need backing up too...

I use a Psion Series 5mx for my schoolwork. I backed it up what I thought was regularilly enough. When disaster struck and the Psion hit the floor, glitching the battery connectors, and promptly losing all data, the newest backup was 14 days old.

That includes having lots some class notes, half finished homework or classwork without hardcopies, agenda entries, a bunch of e-mails etc.

I've learnt my lesson. From this day forth I'll back my Psion up first thing I come home every day.
