Igor, your hardware never failed?

thankfully, i never had problems with hardware: it serves me well. But still didn't prevented from losing precious data: the humans who break into my apartment and stole the machine, with all data it has :( On 18 October 2013 11:18, Goubier Thierry wrote: > I remember trying to recover mail folders by reading the blocks on disk > one by one with a binary editor... > > Ended learning far too much about the internal layout of an ext2 > filesystem. > > But dead harddrive is nice in one way: you don't loose time trying to > recover stuff, you know it's dead :( > > Thierry > > Le 17/10/2013 23:10, Stéphane Ducasse a écrit : > > so backup your machine… because mine was still working at 8h this morning >> and 8h40 dropped dead >> >> >> >> > -- > Thierry Goubier > CEA list > Laboratoire des Fondations des Systèmes Temps Réel Embarqués > 91191 Gif sur Yvette Cedex > France > Phone/Fax: +33 (0) 1 69 08 32 92 / 83 95 > > -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
Re: [Pharo-dev] recovering from a deep disc crash….
I remember trying to recover mail folders by reading the blocks on disk one by one with a binary editor... Ended learning far too much about the internal layout of an ext2 filesystem. But dead harddrive is nice in one way: you don't loose time trying to recover stuff, you know it's dead :( Thierry Le 17/10/2013 23:10, Stéphane Ducasse a écrit : so backup your machine… because mine was still working at 8h this morning and 8h40 dropped dead -- Thierry Goubier CEA list Laboratoire des Fondations des Systèmes Temps Réel Embarqués 91191 Gif sur Yvette Cedex France Phone/Fax: +33 (0) 1 69 08 32 92 / 83 95
Re: [Pharo-dev] recovering from a deep disc crash….
I learned my lesson once, back in my University days, I was doing a law essay in English (Greek is my mother tongue so definitely not easy) , I was working for hours , back then microsoft word had no auto save, forgot to save, accidentally close the window , bye bye work. That was 1999-2000. Suffice to say that I was typing like insane few hours before submitting my work. It was not just that I would fail my course (just a single subject of it) if I did not submit but I would get only 50% grade cause English unis dont allows you to get more if you redo an essay, exam whatever. So really bad experience. From there on , all is online baby. Me and the Internet are closest friends. Time machine is a recent friend, I am already using DropBox for my law documents (microsoft word), MediaFire for my big files , soundclick for the music I compose and souncloud. Code has been before smalltalk that I was doing python only github and now for pharo smalltalkhub. So I rarely keep things locally, of course with time machine I have covered that corner too.

One is using timemachine and the other is using Arq[1] that makes timemachine like backups on amazon S3. Works like a charm from wherever you are. For both options you need to spend money. But it is nothing compared to the pain of loosing all your data. Really! If you don't want to spend money or don't have a mac you can still make backups to another computer using rsync. You'll find plenty of articles if you search the net for rsync and backup. Norbert [1] http://www.haystacksoftware.com/arq/ [2] http://rsync.samba.org/
