OH MY! That would put anyone over the edge. I am so sorry to hear that all your beautiful photos were wiped. I had the same thing happen to me two years ago. Now, I have an external hard drive that updates. I know exactly how you feel. love and big bear hugs to you Gillian. xoxoxo
Thank you @sunscape. I'm slowly beginning to get used to the idea of starting over.
The worst loss so far is some photographs I had taken professionally of my art. I used to sell it online and had the photos done for that. However, I no longer sell it, so I can't download them from the site anymore.
I suppose the photographer might have copies but it was a good few years ago and I can't remember his name!
I'm hoping I'll have other copies of them on some old sticks somewhere as they predate my backups to Google. 😢
I really hope you find all the ones that are the most important to you. I really feel for you.
Thank you @sunscape.
I'm getting used to the idea now and moving slowly on. Just taking it step by step. 😁
