Hey Fred,
This is exactly why I stopped using local apps like MacFreelance and other
ones. If something happens or their crappy timer stopped, you would always
be estimating. I moved my stuff online to a subscription based service
(Invoice Machine) because they also created the invoices, tracked, archived
and just simplified it for me. That is not my strong point but I also need
to get paid. I have bombed my mac so many times it's second nature now but
what i did was add 3 hard drives (4) total and use TimeMachine on drive 4
and sleep well knowing I have a dedicated bkup. Then from there, you can
selectively back important stuff up to others. The problem I have with all
of the cloud-based stuff is what if the internet is down, what if a million
things.
I dislike Google scraping everything I do (like they will do with this
message) and then send me ads based on it. Besides that, I enjoy having
some privacy regarding certain aspects like billing. It's one of those
things that as soon as I saw your message, I said to myself, "Do you back
up?". I know it's cliche but there is truth to it. The biggest thing is
just to make sure it doesn't happen again and as always, keep calm and
carry on.
Be well.
Chris
