It is alway good to backup, backup, backup

After returning from Europe recently was a tremendous expreience for me especially looking forward to post edit those thousand of images and upload on my facebook and even uploading to my Istockphoto. Didnt realised that recently my harddrive start to fail. Cold sweat running in as for few hours it keep saying "error on I/O device". All my photos inside!!!!
Scramble thru the net looking for answer and only get the answer is, it's toasted! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! A couple of years ago, I had the same problems and those data were all gone. With this new harddrive that is failing, I am not gonna let another thousands of photos gone "kaput". But nothing is all failed. It got started back yesterday and immediately I start transferring to a new harddrive. Well first to save are those Euro photos and stock value images. Now slowly tranferring the rest of the data. I read an article about this guys and he has about 3 harddrive of backups. SO investing a couple of hundred on a few harddrive is better than losing those hard work photos.
Crossing my finger and hoping to take all the data out. So goodbye Maxtor Touch4 and hello Samsung HD...
