RIP

The one down note from today – one of Justin’s drives just up and checked out. He spent all of today trying to recover data, with no success.

The kicker was, not five minutes prior to this happening, we were having an informal group discussion on what steps we would be takingto set up an automated backup process for ourselves. Currently – we have no way to back up anything. We’re off the company’s internalnetwork (the speed is WAAAY too slow), and so we’re running on a DSL line. Separated from the company’s network, our computers don’tget the luxury of nightly backups.

We’ve been all backing up our own stuff, when we decide to.

Luckily, Justin does have some backups from late March/April. Better than nothing, but he’s going to end up having to do a crapload ofwork tomorrow basically setting up his machine from scratch again (to say nothing of how long it’s going to take to sift throughall his old backups).
