Your Data, Computers, and ‘not-so-common’ sense.

After hearing a number of so-called ‘horror stories’ from friends regarding the loss of all their ‘most treasured and irreplaceable data’, I am writing this little entry (in a hurry) to assist those who store any information or data on their computers – and have no back up system If you lose your data on your computer – do not blame the computer or operating system. Not having a secure backup system is akin to leaving your photo albums at the train station and blaming the album when someone walks off with it. As simple as that. There is no excuse for bad backup practices these days – the information is readily available. If you wait till you lose your precious data before doing something about it – well, blame yourself. Back up systems, do’s and don’ts In general Anything stored on Windows in a ‘My’ folder or on the ‘desktop’ is dependent on the operating system. If Windows needs to be reinstalled, your data is no longer accessible – these places are the WORST possible place for anything that is important. Hard disk drives are one of the worst mediums for important and irreplaceable data. They are magnetic, mechanical and electrical. Any of these have a failure, and your data will cost many thousands of dollars to recover. Backing up your data can be done in numerous ways of varying security, complexity and hassle. The choice is yours – make it wisely, and accept responsibility for your choice. DVD/CD – regular backups. / Pros – safer medium. Not too expensive. / Cons – a bloody hassle with the size of data files. Can be slow. Regular/scheduled back-ups to an internal Hdd. / A spare Hdd in your machine which is larger enough to hold all your important data. Make scheduled/regular backups to it. / Pros – easy, relatively inexpensive, fast / Cons – hdd is in same physical shell as original data. If your Pc is stolen, so is your backup. Does not protect from things like fire, flood, etc. Reliant on your PCs power supply. External hdd / Pros – alternate physical unit – usually will not be damaged by your PC’s power supply going ‘pop’. Relatively inexpensive. Fast / Cons – external units tend to overheat quite easily. Physical unit is close to original data, and can suffer same physical damage. Depending on the method used to connect to your PC – can be slower then an internal drive. Raid arrays / Raid0 = no redundancy. Forget it. / Raid1 = mirrored drives (at least 2). 2 (or more) drives are seen as 1 by the OS, and data is replicated across both. This covers you from 1 drive failure. / Raid5/6/1+0/0+1/X – this is information your either know, or need a professional for. Online backups / Pros – off site storage – safest. / Cons – slow, expensive. A good middle-of-the-road system – for data that will hurt if you lose it, but not kill you: External RAID1 unit, under your desk, with an active fan cooling it. / Scheduled automatic+user backups of ALL important data. / There is software that will easily do this for you, like Synctoy. / Can be connected via firewire, usb, or eSata. / Nothing stored to your ‘MY’ folders. / Copy your most important data to dvds/cds and store them at a friend/relative. A 500gb hdd costs around $150. 2 = $300 / A Raid1 enclosure can be had for around $200. / That’s $500 for this system. / Smaller hdds are much less expensive. An 80gb hdd is around $50. If your internal hdd dies – it will cost you thousands of dollars to have it restored by professionals – and it is the kind of thing that only professionals can do. So – in short – be informed, treat your data carefully. Don’t blame computers for your neglect. Ask if anything does not make sense. Edit: / Any computer repair store that you are likely to take your machine to – will not safe guard your data. The first thing that most repairers do when they get your machine, is format your drive, or reinstall the operating system.

One of my first picture taken over the week-end with the 1Ds Mark III. The dynamic range of this camera is simply unbelievable…

You often find things like these diskettes laying about, or hard drives and backup tapes etc. I often wonder what is on them, but i have a firm rule about not taking any artefacts from a site. I have known someone recover a video tape from a demolished site though and recover the content to find a training video for the site from when it was active which was really interesting.
