Friendly reminder that you should make sure that you have your precious pictures backed up externaly.
Just yesterday after a blue screen for god knows what reason, Bitlocker in Windows, which I've used to "protect" my data, suddenly decided to enter a blue screen cascade that gave me the fuzzy feelings. Luckily, the data decrypted completely in the end, after plenty of spontaneous reboots.
Of course, like any good IT guy, I didn't have a backup.
Here's the whole setup, with annotated parts.
Yes, those are milk crates. I've had them for almost 17 years, and they work great for temporary shelving. (Or even more semi-permanent furniture when I was in college) Hoping to replace them with some Ikea shelving for this stuff at some point
At the Holley National Hot Rod Reunion, Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, KY.
There was a bountifuly supply of beautiful Backup Babes accompanying the nostalgia cars...ya gotta love the girls who go the extra mile and dress up in period boots and outfits!
backing up the photo collection to a couple of 2.5" drives to take offsite. Easier than doing DVDs, which is what I had been using.
Inside the case is a Q9650, 8GB of memory, about 1.1TB of disk, an nVidia 9800GTX+ video card, terrestrial hdtv tuner and a couple of dvd burners.
The 2.5" drives are 320G and 500G - the 320's full, the 500's almost full.
Photos are stored on a NAS in the garage, connected to via a GB network.
With increasing amounts of data being backed up for longer periods of time, organizations know it pays to use deduplication technologies in their backup infrastructure. Deduplication lowers IT operational costs by using less disk space to store backup data, while speeding up backups and recovery.
