Richard Gaskin==>I had a similar issue many years ago, and since then storage prices have dropped, along with the price of cloud services, so now I'm almost obsessive about having not only multiple redundant backups, but of different kinds.
I now agree with you. I had my VMs on three separate USB 2 drives. After the data was restored from the USB 3 drive I went to import the VMs from one of the USB 2 drives and it failed. So I went to the second and third and the same thing. After 10 minutes or so Windows would make the hardware beep and the USB 2 drive would disappear and reappear on all three drives and the VM import would fail(heart failure time)! So I copied the VMs backup folder to the raid array, no joy same thing. I figured that the USB buss was being saturated and either a Windows driver or PC USB HW problem was at work. Now I am thinking of using the Mac or resurrecting an XP PC to get the data. Last chance I tried copying the data to the USB 3 drive figuring that the additional buss activity would allow the USB 2 drive to throttle back a bit and allow the data to be copied, and it worked! Imported the VMs from the USB 3 drive and I was good-to-go. So heed Richard's word of wisdom(I will) "I'm almost obsessive about having not only multiple redundant backups, but of DIFFERENT KINDS" Ralph DiMola IT Director Evergreen Information Services rdim...@evergreeninfo.net _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
