This is a tumbling log of things and thoughts that pass my way.
If you got here by accident, you may want to visit my website instead.
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 irretrievably lost.
PROTECTING YOUR DATA IS EASY. Buy two external disks that are each at least as large as the disk in your computer, and setup Time Machine to use one of them and SuperDuper! to use the other one.
NEED HELP? Ask me now, don’t wait until after your hard drive has failed. I can’t help you if your data is already gone.
