Not if it loses a charge for an extended period . And I was pretty sure that 2 1/2 weeks counted as extended . And of course about a week before I arrived I THOUGHT OF backing it up by synching it with my computer . But thinking of doing so , and getting around to doing it when trying to take care of a thousand other things are quite different .

Question: What may be the reason for them not backing it up ?
Answer: They did n't want to .They are too lazy .They did n't have any time to .They did n't think of it .
