The Life and Times of a Hapless Hard Drive

Howie, at first glance, appears to be a pretty normal hard drive (if somewhat large and shoddily assembled). Yet, he has developed an impressive ability to get himself in trouble. Despite the fact that he is the repository of vital data, he is constantly endangering his fragile person.

Do You Know Where Your Data Is?

Howie's aimless wandering and dangerous missteps makes him the poster child for data backup. Who knows what kind of important information he's carrying on that shiny disc of his. Before your hard drive sneaks out of the office, crosses a busy street, meets his friends for a smoke behind the school and then wanders into a local bar, make sure you have those files safely backed up. You never know what disaster recovery might mean for you.
