If an hard disk stops suddenly, then already your personal documents have supposedly lost. Unless you have ensured a backup! For (almost) hundred per cent certain to be of a successful backup it is judiciously your documents to a Second (external) copy hard disk. An alternative on this can be for the most of important files for example weekly at backup pen on your hosting or FTP account of your hosting provider.
Why? The chance is, as it happens, rather small that two hard disks at exactly the same moment give the spirit. Moreover is it a must that there regular automatically a copy is made of the folders with important documents.
