How much would you be prepared to pay for precious, lost photographs?

[Oma]

Have you decided to go ahead with it Nana ? xxx

[Nana]

Yes Oma. OH said he'd very kindly call it an extra Christmas present. He's also bought a new external drive, hopefully for the repair people to put the lost data on. I'm hoping against hope that it works.x

[Daisy]

Nana - fingers crossed for you. Let us know how it goes, won't you? xx

I've just had an idea. Ask the people who do your data retrieval for you how to put your photos on one of the cloud storage systems. There are disadvantages such as cost (which may not be high), requiring access to the internet to see your photos (unless you've also got them on an external drive at home). Some people worry about privacy, and you need to be aware of what policy your cloud company has in terms of deleting files. I don't know enough about it to give you any advice, but there are lots of people who can.

[Nana]

Thanks Daisy. You've been such a good help.

[Daisy]

You're welcome, Nana. It's a horrible thing to happen. xx

[Nana]

Well, research done & external drive boxed & posted. It's all in the lap of the gods now. Can you hear my knees knocking?😉

[Daisy]

Nana - fingers crossed for you and your photos. xx

[Nana]

Thanks Daisy.x

[Lizzie48]

Fingers crossed for you Nana. xx

[Nana]

Thanks Lizzie. I must admit I'll feel better just to know it got to the company safely. 😱😉

[Lizzie48]

Nana, I keep thinking of you and the photo's etc, have you heard anything about them yet?

[Gemini]

Yes, I wonder if Nana got that sorted out Lizzie.

[Daisy]

I do hope she did and it all worked out well.
