****** BACK UP YOUR DATA *******

[MARKEG]

was just thinking hard about this after many years of hell heh...

pc users - partition your drive into programs and data... then back up your progs with norton ghost.... and your data with dvd or cd...

mac users - buy a firewire drive and backup with superduper :)

shit - after years this has possibly happened xxxl for me recently. i hope i can get this hdd to work again. pretty much all my tracks, fragments, fruity loops projects have gone over the ocean. though i think i can get the partitions to work again. man: 100+ gb worth of samplecds alone... damnit. when i only had a 40 gb hdd i had to backup far more recently to clear space. i always new somehow that getting a huge hdd could be a very bad idea... *grumble*

err and btw, dodge for mod! i mean it :)

how long do dvds last? i had some burned data from a few years ago and the dvd is now faulty...

I don't trust DVDs. Get a dedicated HD for backup.

going to pick up a nice 100gb external drive this afternoon, USB, nice and easy, and easy to transfer stuff over to my new machine when i get it

[eyeswithoutaface]

if you dont have an external drive for backup, then your officially gay
