Value of Backing Up

As I have mentioned in earlier posts, my computer had to be reimaged due to virus attacks. Being the wonderful student that I am I had not back-up in quite some time. Fortunately I was able to salvage most of what I needed. I certainly learned that backing up is a neccessity to life and I must make a point to do it more often. Now while I saved most of what was important, I did not rescue the calculator that Nicole and I have been working on. But I did learn where this particular file was housed. It was not in the eclipse folder like I had assumed, but rather in workspace located in local disk D of my computer. I have now recently backed up all of my documents as well as the calculator and have restored the calculator back to its state before being obliterated by the reimaging.
