Loss of Precious Files / Hours of Work

We have all heard stories about computers ‘just dying’ at the worst possible moment; losing a vital report before an important meeting, irreplaceable wedding photographs right before an anniversary or the final touches to your 5,000 word university thesis hours before the deadline. Horror stories like these are enough to make you never trust a piece of technology with your data again.
