One of our DLT tapes got stuck in the drive. The support technician suggested removing the tape itself from the tape cartridge to see if we could get it unstuck. (didn't' work). Well, this is what 40GB of backup tape looks like! Reminds me a lot of dealing with bad cassette tapes as a teenager... :)
Doing photo-a-day for 2.5 years and lots of photoshoots with a 15 megapixel camera results in a lot of data. My backup hard drive died on Monday night and so I ordered a new drive which arrived today (thanks Amazon Prime!) A new, full backup of 1.3TB sure does take a while...
Also, the last backup drive died after a totally unreasonably short time period: 7 months. Fortunately, it's under warranty, so you can be damn sure I'm getting them to replace it. Of course, I can't wait that long for having a reliable backup, which is why I've got a new drive now. Besides, it's not like I'd really trust its replacement as my main backup drive after having one die so fast. But I imagine I can use it as an off-site storage backup, which is something I've been wanting for a while.
Photo taken with iPhone and processed with Camera+ (have I mentioned my love of Camera+? Its filters are a lot of fun; I totally want them to make a Mac OS X version and not just an iPhone version. Make it happen, guys!)
