Please Backup, a dead hard drive is your worst nightmare

In the past two weeks I have had to deal with 5 dead hard drives.  Consider yourselves warned.  When the hard drive drives it is almost impossible to get your data back, so please, no matter how you do it, back up!  CD's, DVD's, flash drives, external hard drives, Network attached storage, the cloud, any will do and all will save your backside when your hard drive goes!
