our old hunk of junk computer crashed a few months ago which at the time I didn't think was that big of a deal because I had all my pictures, music and daycare files backed up on my flash drive.. or so I thought. I went to open everything up last night on our new computer and everything is gone I don't even know how it happened.

I'm not too disappointed about the music as most of it was purchased through iTunes so its an easy fix, and most of my pictures are also backed up on my SD cards and discs and facebook. BUT Ive lost 8 years worth of themed curriculum planning, contracts, forms (every kind imaginable!), policy write ups, and my handbook.

This REALLY sucks! Any advice on how to avoid this from ever happening again?
