Reminder - backup!!!

[Ian]

I'm just posting this as a timely reminder for everyone

I went to do a hard copy backup from my external drive to DVD... however, on doing the drive went pair shaped and I lost all of the data. Why, I do not know - but luckily some free data recovery tools on the net could get any files change since the last backup.

Had I not had a recent backup, I would have been in some deep trouble So to anyone with important documents, university work, photos, or financial stuff... please remember to back up to CD/DVD every so often!

Today I've managed to have a router AND an external drive fail on me

Now that is some serious bad luck...

Yep, I spent all morning trying to figure out why my connection was degrading even more - and the afternoon recovering files... fun fun fun Things seem almost back to normal now though thankfully - it could have been worse

On the plus side, I did get a bag full of beers from a friend who had too many left over from a house party

... too many left over beers

What a strange person.

 

[Ian]

Haha, that's exactly what I said

 

[floppybootstomp]

My thoughts too - a person can never have too many beers

Not much of a party if there was left over beer..I normally run out before midnight. Good thing living above a 24hr offie

I back up daily to a USB stick & then weekly to either a CD-R or DVD-R depending on file size.

As for left over beer, i never have any!!!!

Houses don't drink . Thats why there were beers left over .

lol, ah ok. Thanks for clearing it up. I assumed it was a house party and all the beer didn't get drunk. Cause that would be weird!! ;-)
