Restoring a file
I reported recently that I started backing up my work files to CoreVault, the online storage company recommended by the SC Bar. Yesterday, I pulled up an old column of mine in Word, meaning to edit it and save it as a new file. Well, you know what happened. I accidentally clicked “save,” not “save as.” (I click “save” every few seconds without even thinking now – one never knows when the power might blink.) The thud feeling in my stomach was quickly replaced by the realization that I could restore the file from CoreVault. It has been a few weeks since Edward at CoreVault helped me get started and at first I wasn’t sure where to go on my PC to restore a file. I was determined to try to figure it out before I called CoreVault for help. But I found the CoreVault software in my Windows programs list, and the rest was a breeze. I was able to connect to my online backup and navigate to the file I needed, then restore it to its former location. I also noticed I could search for the file in CoreVault if I didn’t remember where it was. Voila! What could have been a disaster for a practicing lawyer was a mere hiccup in the day.
