Remember that USB drive I mentioned in last night’s post about backups?

It died!

   Remember that 400GB drive you’re backing everything up to… what if it fails too?

   When I first read yesterday’s posts I thought all three of your machines were backing up to the other three which I thought was almost perfect (Almost because they’re all onsite and no offsite back-up, but Mozy does that with some and is going to with more at which point it’ll be perfect.)

   I was surprised you weren’t backing up more thoroughly since it’s a set-it and forget-it thing. Especially the pictures.

   That would be addressed in the “Long Term” section of the post. What I have going on right now is better than it was but far from ideal!

   Who will shoe the cobbler’s children?

   … and …

   New USB drive is up, online and full backup almost complete.

   Fortunately I had an old 60GB 2.5″ drive sitting on my shelves so I just popped it in and formatted it.

   My favorite part…
   60Gb just laying around unused.
   Once upon a time, not that long ago that was HUGE.
   Tech growing so fast, and yet I’m still not valet parking my hovercar (with trailer hitch) dang it!

   LOL Rich - You have a hovercar already?

   *sigh* Just like old hard drives, I won’t have one until someone tries to throw theirs away.
