[dba-Tech] Just lost a Word file

[Rocky Smolin]

The best one for my money is drag and drop to an EHD.  Crude but effective.

I got into the habit a long time ago, before the internets and cloud.  I
was always afraid of losing a program file so whenever I finished working
on any file, I dragged it to the desktop EHD shortcut. Then I started
dragging to TWO EHDs so I had three copies. Now, even though any file I
work on is also on my Google Drive, I still drag and drop to an external
EHD. Plus on mdbs and word docs I append a version number which I bump
every time I'm finished with a file.  IOW, I don't trust my computer as far
as I can throw it.
