I store my photos on a online storage server but that is about it for my online storing. If I had stored my photos on this computer I would have out of storage space along time ago. My drawings take up quite a bit of space so I need to go thru those and cull some of them.
I think this was only the second time I have lost stuff before and the first time it was because of a power outage and the battery was shot at the time so it was instant loss of my blog that night. If I remember right the power was out less than a minute but I have replaced the battery and it keeps a good charge now.
Glad you have got your stuff mastered as it can be very frustrating when it happens.
