Note for Andi -- my newly re-built hard drive crashed on Sunday, and I have made it all the way through Kübler-Ross' stages of grief to Acceptance today. ;-) I did make a cloned version of the rebuilt drive that is only a few weeks out-of-date, so not completely dire. But, my confidence in electronic media has been shaken. All that to say, this is the reason I haven't posted the new photos this week!
Ouch, never good, happy to hear you had a fairly recent backup. I have two backup drives. One that I backup to at least monthly and then that drive to another at least twice a year. Been thinking of online storage for the "special images". If you ever completely lose a drive and need someone to try and pull data from it, I have the equipment to try. That's assuming the drive isn't completely dead but just corrupt. Just drop me an e-mail.
ReplyDeleteHi Scott! Thanks for the commiseration and the offer. Will send an email.
DeleteAfter the last big fail I've been working with three (so the photos exist in three separate locations). I still have two back-ups -- the cloned version 3 weeks out of date and then the other drives which have all the photos, just scattered over many. The primary one I was using had collated all the images into one Lr catalogue. Now I've got to figure out how to go forward. I'm thinking about having two primaries that I work from -- each day I use a different one, plus the two back-ups. Not sure yet.
Damn, I am so sorry to hear it. This is why I have pictures 4 versions of my photographs. I have my main drive, a backup drive, an offsite backup drive (that gets brought back to the house to be backed up once a month), and my SD card on which I keep all images until they are backed up on the offsite drive.
ReplyDeleteLovely pastoral shot.
Thanks Andi. Sounds like a good bup system.
