Came home at 3am this morning to find my main desktop machine locked up solid... Rebooted and all of a sudden heard the dreaded clicking of the hard drive (a 6month old WDC 80GB). I was wanting to reinstall Gentoo on my main desktop anyways, but this wasn't quite what I had in mind...
Anyways, I threw a spare hard drive in (identical to the one that died), and am in the process of reinstalling Gentoo (on the 3rd different machine this week )
Once I get everything back up and running, I want to start making it a habit to back things up on a regular basis. I was wondering what others on this list did for their backups.
I was considering the following:
- a seperate machine to handle all backup's of the various machines on my home LAN
- buy another 80G and a RAID card and run it in RAID 1
any recommendations?
I'm not recommending it but I have a cron job that emails me reminders to backup then I just backup stuff to cdr. I'm hoping to get evms working and will try the raid way out soon though.
Thanks, Aaron
