  • @HoneycombAgent thats why you have backups of your backups & just to be safe, have a couple more backups.

  • @HoneycombAgent Then you'll turn into a hobo and lose your job.

  • I have an SSD lol

  • @HoneycombAgent

    @echo off

    A:

    echo Make a backup of your backup

    goto A

  • @HoneycombAgent shotgun

  • @HoneycombAgent: Than you have the primary drive

  • @HoneycombAgent My bad. I didn't catch that you were using USB drives. There are automatic backup protocols that save your files in both locations, though.

  • @fingerboy18 How do you do RAID over USB devices?

  • @HoneycombAgent At the same time? Not likely! Use RAID1 if you're doing important things.

  • did you get the data off it? I have heard you can record the data from the outside in with new heads to get your image (however they will crash when they go over the scratch)

    did you do this?
