My Lacie external hard disk stopped working last week with the pictures 
of last two years. Including my granddaughter pictures. Technicians are 
trying to save the disk but I'm afraid every image is lost. I'll be 
right now making with next pictures the backup of the backup of the backup.

Regards.
