But I really need to get on with the business of backing up my files! I did some organizing of my files, well actually, I just cleaned off my desktop!

I hope were are all taking steps to be more proactive in our "back-up" habit. Thanks for the comment, Mike on such an important topic.

Everyone assumes there is a magic automated product that sweeps all content to some huge repository. It ain't so. Critical student records and financial information get that kind of treatment, but not instructional content. The irony is that each teacher has a very large volume of space on their own computer. Just dragging their classes folder down to their own workstation every once and a while would have taken care of the whole mess. Backup is and always be a personal habit, not an automated technical process.. We have done a poor job of telling teachers about back up.
