So I use an app on my iPad called iBrewmaster to keep track of all my recipes and brewing schedule. Well, when I went to update to iOS 5 I completely forgot to backup the iPad. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue as the updates don’t usually fail and all your data is safe. However, this time I ran into some problems and had to restore from my last backup which was July 24th :cry:. Because of this I have lost data on my latest 3 batches of beer as well as my friends batch that he brewed using my equipment. The worst part of the loss is that my Christmas competition batch, “Reindeer Piss”, was one of those and the recipe had been adjusted so I don’t have the recipe anymore. Hopefully I will be able to get a re-printed receipt from my brew store to get the recipe again. If not then I will just have to make something new for next year.

The moral of this story is to ALWAYS backup your data, especially before you run a major software update.
