Re: I felt a great disturbance in the Force

When my Mac Mini packed up last year I backed all of the important sets up on a seconded hard drive. But the more obscure stuff may be lost. I will get the HD sorted next week. I'm thinking of getting a Mac Time Capsule to use as a second back up. By the time everything is sorted I will have shelled out £1200. But there are some things you can't live without.

Whoa! I thought that I was the very few with a Mac Mini. Loving it. What's your memory capacity? I'm at 1TB.

Also, I would never depend on one or even two sources to save all of my digital files. Just saying if you have a lot of them.

29 files corrupt out of 20,000. Lucky most were Danny Howells sets and a few Last Night On Earth. The Howells sets were backed up 3 times over. This experience will still cost me £1000. Just lucky I'm not hard up.

Re:

I know that it's more effort but burn the sets on disc & save your memory for tracks, IMO.

Re: I felt a great disturbance in the Force

i know you're not going to listen to me but trust me this is good advice... may i suggest a Amazon.co.uk: blu ray burner, you can fit 23.3 GB of data on one disc at a time, the discs can be a bit expensive but it will save you a fortune in the long run

edit : can't actually believe that in this day and age people don't back up their shit 2 or 3 times over

Re:

Curious. Why concerned? 23.3GB of data equals 0.0233 of TB storage. So, it's all golden.

Re: I felt a great disturbance in the Force

just when i thought i wasnt going to buy anything the rest of the year, you do this. might need to seriously look into this..

its worth it! its where i trust my personal documents, family photos and of course my music and movies since the NAS run the plex app- can stream anywhere you have an internet connection.


now all i have to do is worry about some kind of off site backup in case my house goes up in flames or flooded or zapped by a lightning storm and fries the unit.

Re: I felt a great disturbance in the Force

My heart really sank when I went back to my old old hard drive and I realised that there would be lots of stuff missing (everything from 2011 onwards). But not only that. lots of the sets that I had edited and joined over the years, would also be missing. Fortunately out of 19,000 files only 24 were corrupt. I got them all back today on a new hard drive, which I am backing up right now. All in all this has cost me £850. It's a good job that I am not hard up. LOL
