Saving files, backing up, and version management

Sometimes, the hard work we have been doing on our computers can be lost. Depending on time constraints, you may like to ask the participants if they have ever experienced any computer disasters. See if some common themes emerge - for instance, creating a document, but not saving before disaster strikes. Or having a hard disk fail, and losing the only copy of important documents. Or perhaps losing an external hard drive, or USB stick, again containing the only copy of documents. Some users might comment on saving work frequently, but saving mistakes, then not being able to go back to better, earlier copies of documents. Others might describe difficulties that arise when the wrong version of document is edited.
