I got back, turned on one of our computers, and the hard-drive was dead.

Luckily i had done a manual backup about a month before we left, but there was still some data like pictures that were lost. After that happened, lesson was learned! Started doing automated backups to an external hard drive and have felt far more secure ever since.

I would emphasize the importance of using multiple methods. Backup with online sites (like, *cough*, MyHeritage.com), but don’t forget more traditional methods too!
