Why didn't you back-up your shit on an external HDD every month or couple months? Dang.

Backups are one of the most common overlooked control. I'm just as guilty of it as the next person.

I've had hard-drives fail in the past (although never had another person wreck it). Generally why I use Dropbox to keep family pictures, etcetera. It sucks to lose files and reinstall games. Hope the "asshat" covers a replacement at least.

I have access to an external, I just need to somehow get it in my head that backups are essential

I had my 5 year old WD Black fail with little to no warning. I keep regular backups now.

it's happened before, it'll probably happen again. I'm thinking of investing in either a nice Seagate or a large-ish SSD to minimize the chances of it happening because of impact damage.

Hence I always keep redundant backups of all data.
I've had a couple of HDDs fail (external), and If It wasn't for my other external drives containing the backups, I would've lost "years" of work. In terms of data recovery and diagnostics, checkout my site here: http://www.thepc.tech/
All tools (which are normally paid versions) are free and fully functional- with direct links without the BS of surveys, popups etc.

I hope your hard drive goes to therapy. Rape is a very tragic and hard situation to go through.

I'm sorry. I would shit my pants if that happened. I literally have everything I need and that's important to my life saved on this computer over the years and not once ever backed it up (yeah, fuck me, right?).
