Have you ever experienced a massive hard drive failure? Did you experienced this hard drive failure on a drive containing a years worth of work on your privately financed independent feature film (in addition to gigabytes of videos, audios, and photos?) If this has ever happened to you, then you truly understand despair.

I have experienced more than one hard drive failure in my life and quickly remembered all the lost backup opportunities that I let slip away. Then, as the numbness wore off I begin to wonder if all was truly lost.
