The "be nice to SY01" thread

Oops. At least we get a thread reminiscent of the "good days" of SY01 posting. Your posts are always better when your life is ****.
Stop blaming Ubuntu, that's not the problem. Even if you were running WindowsME that wouldn't be the problem. Hopefully you'll adapt your backup system to be resilient no matter what happens to any individual PC.
If it makes you feel any better though, I am certain most of us here are in equally leaky boats... I'd say most of us who never had to test our backup recovery are in for a shock when it happens, however smug we are about taking backups.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

My laptop HD failed, seconds after taking a backup. New HD installed, recovered from backup. Nice.
I was quite tempted with that Jungledisk. Then I saw the price per GB. I think I'll stick to a couple of 1TB USB drives in my nuclear bunker.

Have had to restore one machine after a disk crash, and one after I replaced the HDD with SDD. Worked a charm both times."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

At what point does someone come up with the cliché?
There are two kinds of people: those who take backups and those who haven't had a catastrophic disk failure.
But why, after all these decades of computing, is backing up still such a time-consuming inconvenience? And restoring so unreliable?My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Viewing figures in millions each week.
Just in the UK
I don't think Elton John would claim to have played to a bigger audience!!
You might be right about it being tulip but I would like to know what audience you played to that exceeds the X-Factor?Comment

I use dropbox for automatic sync'ing to the "cloud". Works a treat. Means I can recover all my files automatically just by installing the client should I suffer some sort of failure.
Also gives web access to your files, plus previous versions and the ability to recover deleted files...
