Please Stand By
We here at MadMup.com are experiencing technical difficulties. The hard drive in my computer has died, and none of my attempts to salvage it have been successful. Yes, it happens to computer guys, too. And all those times you’ve been told by a computer guy to “back up your stuff”? They don’t do it like they ought to, either. It wouldn’t be that bad except for the year and half of digital pictures stored on the drive that I can’t get back.
Nertz.
So, yeah, I’ll be back when I can be. Feel free to read through the archives in the meantime.
I recommend Jungle Disk for cheap failsafe off site backups. It's uses Amazon's S3 so it only costs 15 cents per gigabyte.
When I get our new desktop up and running we'll use it as an intermediate backup (from our laptops) solution that will autobackup to S3 via jungle disk. Backups are the reason we put this new machined together.
I too have felt the pain of unrecoverable data loss. I feel your pain.
My most heartfelt condolences, Mup. :(
