9:52AM Seamus Byrne | Like Highlander, there can be only one. We consulted with the crew at CBL on helping us pick a winner, but we all pretty well agreed on who should take out the prize.
Congrats to ‘Simon M’, who showed us never to trust other people’s back-up regimens, and to fear and respect the ‘initialise’ command. Hopefully the ‘get out of jail’ card will help you rest easier than ever before.
Thanks for all the stories – sorry to those of you who seemed desperate for immediate relief. But if we folded under the weight of every tech sob story we’d be giving our shirts away. Still, at least you now know who to call for help if you REALLY need it. More »

10:07AM Seamus Byrne | Don’t forget to get your data disaster stories into the comp post before end of tomorrow! We’re giving away a CBL ‘Get out of jail free’ card to one reader for their disaster story – a golden ticket to data restoration should they ever face the mother of all meltdowns, worth $3,500.
My worst story? I had my PC stolen in a house break-in. No data recovery effort is going to pull those lost files back. That was back in the days of floppies and CD-R was still $1,000+… and naturally only dial-up for company. So that stuff was GONE gone. Thankfully it was at a time in my life when the worst thing I lost were my Diablo save games. Though even at that I was gutted. I was well into my third trip through the dungeons! -Seamus Byrne More »

10:15AM Seamus Byrne | Remember that Ten Commandments of Data Loss Prevention we ran a few days ago? Well the team at CBL has decided to extend the hand of love to one lucky Giz reader, in the form of a special ‘Get out of Jail Free’ card. Just like Monopoly, only this time the escape is from one serious disk meltdown. CBL puts the value of this card at $3500 – so if your system gets fried, burned, flooded, stabbed, shot, whatever, they will go the distance to try and restore as much of your data as can possibly be restored.
Like the sound of that? All you have to do is comment below and tell us your data loss horror stories. Entries close Friday August 17, so you’ve got more than a week to visit the therapist and unleash those repressed memories of woeful data disasters. Terms and Conditions More »
