Dear All
As I was backing up few video files (flv from Youtube) from my Computer HD to a Maxtor External Hard Disk by using Cut Paste process I lost the files mysteriously.
I am trying to understand the cause of it but couldnt locate it.What caused such abnormal behavior and loss of data. Any Idea? The data simply vanished. Its not a hidden file either.
Is it better to backup files in DVD-R and CD-R of reputed brand then to store it in External Hard Disk because you may loose data due to electronic or mechanical failure of HD which wont be the case with Optical Media?
Just take care of your disk and protect it from scratches and chance of loosing data is minimal. Which way to go ?
Your views please.
Thanks.
