Ever had your computer crash before saving a very important document?

Yes I have, and yes it has happened to me. I was lucky though I use MS Office products and have the programs set to backup every 5 minutes and this is automatic so I dont have to do anything. This might seem excessive but in the event of a crash the most you have to redo when your system is back up is the last 5 minutes.

I try to save as often as I can. It takes me forever to type stuff, so it makes much more sense to me to have to take 5 seconds of time to save every few minutes, then to have to retype the whole thing because my computer crashed before I could save it! I'm not a slow typist, but probably not the fastest, and I definitely do not want to have start all over from scratch and have to re-type something! So, yes, I do make a point of saving as often as possible!
