This and this made me think that I too should give a little lecture about backups, for those of you who don’t do them (you know who you are).
YOUR HARD DRIVE WILL FAIL. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a year, maybe in three years, but it will fail, and on that day all of the data on it will be…
I think I am going to heed Brandt’s warning. He is a sharp guy who is echoing advice that I know is sound yet knowingly ignore. I’m up a creek w/o the information stored on my laptop. I was doing the “Time Machine” thing, but it wasn’t clear to me how to overwrite older backups once the back disk is full. Time Machine was just giving me warnings that the backup disk was full. I guess I need to budget some time to learn that software as it really is just too important to keep your data backed up. Thanks for giving me the push I need Brandt. I’ll be spending some time with this in the next few days … my fingers are crossed that Murphy doesn’t rear his ugly head until then.
