For some unknown reason, my seven-month-old laptop completely died. The laptop had to be reformatted and all of my data and software was wiped cleaned so that it would start up again.
Thankfully I've been pretty good at backing up every Sunday night so I did not lose much of my data (only the work I did on Monday). I've spent the past week restoring the data from the external hard drive, re-uploading all of my software and being ever so grateful that my entire PhD was not lost...
Moral of the story: Back your shit up.
