After much movement of bytes, coding and actually working out how best to do it, I've recovered most of the emails that got lost when the drive crashed. Actually, when I say most, I don't actually know how many I might be missing - until I actually miss them (which might not happen, 'cause I hoard emails so most of them would be shite anyway).
In order to try and sort out this backup lark once and for all I've just ordered a new harddrive, a 400Gb one, for my desktop machine, which means I can take the two 120Gb drives out and move them to work to use for remote backups - well that's the plan anyways. 400Gb, jeeze I'll never fill that... ;-). Buying the new drive has also put my personal data storage capabilities to just over 0.8Tb, woo yeah...
I suppose I should hunt down the missing images from posts on the blog now...
Silly poll time...
What's worse - hair loss or data loss?
Data loss is a direct cause of hair loss, so I'd rather just have the hair loss thanks.
I assume you have suitable offsite locations, but let me know if you need somewhere.
Posted by: joe on June 20, 2006 12:18 PMHeh, I originally had "data loss causes hair loss" that as an option, but then removed it because the anal pollers out there would say it made the poll invalid... or something...
The offsite location was going to be the linux box that sits behind me at work :-)
