One day it will happen to you. Your computer will not boot up, your hard drive is toast and all your documents are lost. Pictures, resumes, tax returns, music, all the data you ever created is gone.
Fortunately there are many ways to backup this data. External hard drives, re-writable CD's, photo websites and one of my favorites, Gmail.
If you have a Gmail account you have a backup device. With nearly 3 gigabytes of storage space you can save pictures and all the important documents you ever created.
Just create zip files (as long as they remain under 10 megabytes) and email them to yourself. Store them on Google's servers and they will be available where and whenever you might need them. You can organize them in folders within Gmail (they call them labels).
Better spending a little time wishing you had done this than creating or losing forever your data. If you need a Gmail account let me know and I will send you an invite.
