| 746509 | 2009-02-11 18:40:00 | I agree - small drive with OS, imaged with Acronis True Home, working HDD with photos only, backup drive with copy of photos, drive with 'other stuff', 'good photos' on DVD, two copies of imaged D Drive (belt and braces principle here!)... The best thing is the image of the OS - a quick solution to disasters (and I've used it about four times in about nine months). |

| 746510 | 2009-02-12 01:58:00 | I'd double-check about the Seagate issue, coz what you've described fits exactly with the Seagate scenario. I fully endorse the concept of using one drive as a DISCONNECTED backup. By all means leave it mounted in the case, but disconnect both the power and data cables from it so that it is isolated from all power glitches, and is not going through any unneccessary power-up cycles. I have drives coming out my ears, but they're mostly stored in removable enclosures, and completely removed from the machine when not needed. Still waiting for a cheaper enclosure for the SATA models though. |
