This issue became very personal to me this week as my husband lost all of his contact and photos during a software update on his phone. He did not have a recent backup or restore point and wound up losing all of his photos and contact for the last six months. With some work, he will be able to get his contacts back. The bad news was that we lost all of the pictures of our son that were saved on his phone.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Accidents, errors, and lost, stolen or broken devices happen. It is also extremely common that during troubleshooting of a device you will be required to restore to factory settings and\/or wipe data from the device. One way or another, it is likely that you have or will at some point, lose all the data you have saved on your phone, tablet or PC.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Below are the three things you need to do today to protect your photos, documents, contacts and other data.
