Am recovering my 1TB Graphics drive that could not be read in the (now defunct) Studio PC.

Am recovering my 1TB Graphics drive that could not be read in the (now defunct) Studio PC. I have that drive in a dock plugged (along with a 1TB external Drive) the USB 3 ports at the back of RecRoom PC. Only 278GB was used on the drive, but what was there was vitally precious to me, and the thought that it was lost without any recovery a major source of depression.

The copying is running very smoothly with no issues so far! More proof that it was the PC itself that had the problem, not the drive. So tempted to take the remains of it out the back and smash it with a sledgehammer. But I might just dump it on the verge for bulk pickup next month.

Once the first backup - which is only for the Real Life Trips graphic novel - is done, I plan to do a 2nd as well, and then a third backup which will backup the whole disk. There were other images and files on that which needed to be recovered as well. A morning's work.

    And don't forget to find a safe place off site to store one of those backups. Having worked for a company that was located in a building that was destroyed by a fire, that's always in the back of my mind even for household computer backups and critical paper documents. And it's not just the fire that does the damage. It's also the smoke and the water to put out the the fire.

    Someone on Facebook suggested that as well, so I will be doing it. Including a full backup of the whole drive, I'll have three backups of it, so I'm sending one to friends who live in Victoria.

    Hahaha the paranoia in us is exposed in our backup habits. Once burned, never again! I almost lost my kids photos to a bad power supply that ate two redundant raids. Now I have multiple copies in a fire safe, in a NAS and also in dropbox and in crashplan.

    I am really happy you got your novel back. there should be a ton of free disk space in the NUC on the second drive, too.

    And if you're really paranoid, you'll encrypt it before sending it to anybody. Then you'll put your encyption key in some super safe place never to be found again. Not that I would have learned by experience by any doing that sort of thing.

    no no no - no encryption. I have a (bad) history with that.
