You gotta back your stuff up man!

Backing up your computer, tablet, and cell phone data is super duper important. It's a drag, it takes time. But like going to the dentist, dmv or filing taxes you gotta do it. 

We've all had an issue and lost documents or cellphone. Heck the other day I spent 3 hours working on a design layout for a website and then InDesign crashed. Half of my work was recovered, the other half laid nestled in my over active brain waiting for me to redesign what I had already created ..argh! My iPhone is having issues and after a quick trip to the apple store - they said they'd replace it. But, I hadn't done a hard back up in a few weeks. iCloud was doing it's thing...but I hadn't backed up voice memos and other valuable information. So, I went back home... and I backed it all up. Waisted a trip to apple, but I'm glad I have a back up before I lost valuable stuff.
