This month I was helping a client with their laptop computer. Their main program was having problems reading data from their 4TB (terabyte) external drive. I feared the drive had a hardware issue or the USB port on the laptop was faulty. Luckily, it wasn’t the external hard drive and it was readable outside the program. I got the program to recognize the external drive and my client was relieved. I was going to suggest they get another external drive and make a copy of the data. Before I could suggest this, they asked me about backing it up do we were in agreement. I didn’t have to convince them it was a great idea to do this and they went out a purchased a new drive. It took a few days and the new drive had all their data just in case something occurs to the original
