Borked up some commands on my home file server tonight and lost 3TB worth of stuff... Photo library, gone. Software backups, gone. DVD rips, gone. I'm gonna cry now...
I was just thinking about this kind of problem this week, actually, when I ran into a post by someone advising that you do your backups on large solid state drives... and that you have two of them which you swap back and forth regularly.
While I understand the logic... WOW would that be expensive.
Yeah, I can't imagine trying to do backups to SSDs. While incredibly fast, those suckers are EXPENSIVE!
One of these days I'll get around to finally writing a post about the Fusion-io ioDrive we picked up for work. Incredibly fast, but just 80GB for $3k.
With a day's hindsight, it's not TOO bad.. the good photos are on Flickr already. The DVD rips will need to be re-done, but I've still got the originals. The sucky part is the various software license keys that were stored there from online purchases over the years. Ugh.
I guess saying "That Sucks" would be an understatement?? Bummer...I've done my fair share of deleting stuff when I shouldn't have...sigh...SO frustrating.
