Wow - I get it. It's your life's work, but I think this is an example where cloud-based backup is critical!

Gideon Hodge, 35, describes himself as a playwright, novelist and actor. When his fiancé told him that their apartment was on fire, he left his Mid-City workplace and rushed to the scene.
Hodge then rushed into the structure – past firefighters yelling at him to stop, past the smoke flying everywhere – to grab the laptop he knew was underneath a table inside. He had two completed novels on the computer that he wasn’t willing to sacrifice, he said.
“Anybody that’s ever created art, there’s no replacing that,” Hodge said. “It’s got pretty much my life’s work.”
Hodge said he did not hesitate before dashing in.
“Despite my better sense, I just ran inside and grabbed it,” he said. “I didn’t think to be scared.”
