Just a friendly reminder to always back up your files.
I just got back from vacation. I sat down at my computer yesterday morning and tried to turn on my computer. The logo for my motherboard came up as it normally does but then, instead of loading up Windows 7 it asked me to boot Windows from a disk/DVD. Long story short, I've spent the last day and a half trying to identify the problem and....I have a dead SSD. Fortunately, I only use my SSD (OCZ Agility 3) for programs and store my photos and other files on HD drives. So, my photos should be fine, and even if the problem is wider spread than I currently think, I have 3 different external backups.
But, as I think about it, Lightroom was one of the programs stored on my SSD. And I am beginning to think that I have lost my library, and Lightroom settings.
So, moral of the story, back up your files....RAW, jpeg, and record of post-processing. I hadn't thought of the last one. Maybe it was saved on a HD, I'll see in a day or two once I get my computer back up and running.
Thankfully, I do have all my RAW and jpeg files.
