Yeah I know the feeling! Had a problem twice, lost lots of
important data :-( So now, I have a backup disk for the
backup, of my most important data ;-)

dont forget terracopy for copy/pasting....after a paste...it
gives you the option ( in preferences/ not default) to test
the copy paste...so for example if copying to a usb stick
drive which can at times mess up. you can be sure of
success. it's free too.

Yes - I learned this the hard way. Now I have an automated
backup of a backup. RAID only protects you if a drive dies
but the RAID remains healthy. But if the RAID itself takes a
shit - well that's no fun.

So now I have two disparate external RAID systems backing up
to eachother using synctoy.

clever clogs.

i back up my 0' and 1's to good old fashioned chalk and
slate. i am still backing up the first mp3, and my garden
is piled up with slate, but at least ,when I am done, no
electromagnetic flare thingy from our sun will wipe out
cliff Richards remastered 'wired for sound'.

I was surprised several months ago at how cheap 3 TB drives
are. Insanity.

A lot of my tech brain is stuck in 1998, so everything is a
marvel and amazingly affordable to me.

30 years from now, 100 TB drives are gonna cost like 5
cents.

I only have 8 GB RAM on this workstation, but that's 4x the
capacity of my hard drive in 1997. 16 GB RAM expandability
affordable; 32 GB kind of expensive yet. That being said,
perhaps in 15 years, my workstation RAM will be 4x the
(conservative) hard drive space that I have now, at 4 TB.
Hard drive space at 500x-- 500 TB.

What the fuck kind of apps and computer life I'm gonna be
living using 4 TB RAM and 500 TB hard drive space, I have no
idea. Blows me fockin' mind, mang.

When thinking back to my first computer in 1997, I suppose
the expanded usage is related to what I was doing then--
computer graphics, music making, and entertainment from da
music/films (well, I did not have films, but I used to
collect music videos). Nothing "new".

Uh, but yeah-- good to backup important stuffs. Redundant
RAID drives is the easiest.

The computer is a machine, but it is also an organic being
affected by emotion as all others. So I do tend to treat my
computers and other hardware with love, and they seem to
stay in good condition for many o years. If your hardware
only knew how much you loved them, they would feel great and
be much stronger in the face of general tech-breaking
stresses.

If you haven't thanked your hardware recently, I highly
recommend giving them the thanks they deserve, for helping
you become the you that you are.

pc upgrades may not be that important. : ?
