I had it happen again three days ago, I had over 12 gigs of stuff on that card (ripped DVD movies, cab files, mp3's, GPS programs & maps, installed programs, hundreds of icons, all my pics, six Sprite total system BU files etc etc etc) & it came up totally blank.

I have 99% of it backed up to my laptop so it's really no big deal, it's more of an annoyance than anything but definitely illustrates what could happen without a tested backup.......

Yeah, I backup to my storage card daily and every other day or so I back up everything (phone memory and storage card) to my PC, which is in turn is backed up to an external hard drive, which is in turned backed up to DVD's stored at a separate location.

So hopefully I'm covered....
