    Back up your fishing marks

    Home pc just died and realised I wasnt backing up my gps marks to a external hard dive

    Was in the process of converting them to a format to put in the new garmins

    22 years worth of spots gone lol
    Oh well time to find them again

    Just because your PC died does not automatically mean that data can't be recovered from your hard-drive. As the easiest example - if your motherboard died, you can still whip out the hard-drive, connect it via a 'cord' you can get from Jaycar and plug it into another computer as an external drive, then pull down all the info you need. Harder exercises will require a good IT tech - but don't chuck it away until you have explored this avenue. Well, not unless you want to play the reloading game by refinding/revisiting/re-stealing/ the original spots. Good luck with it.

    Thanks for that
    It’s a dead ssd drive

    I have all the paraphernalia of being a computer geek in the past and this one is cactus
    My own fault for not backing it up as I had in the past and getting complacent
