what exactly do you have/do that would be so unrecoverable like that? seriously.

 

That's okay by us. Installing software and using it is what we do- I'm making my living in front of a computer and all, I hope I can point and click. We just don't want to do something like learn 2 or 3 command lines that should do what we want it to do, because we have no way to troubleshoot or repair anything that goes wrong or just isn't working. We don't need to understand the mechanics of networking or data storage, because we'd just get ourselves in trouble. Kinda like average people need to know that oil wears out and needs replacing, but taking their car to Jiffy Lube is a better option than DIY for some.

 

Pictures are pretty valuable.... especially of the nude ex gf kind.

This is exactly why it's a discussion at all. The pay, benefits, scheduling etc. are all superior at GlobalCorp X. My current position will probably be more satisfying and better for my career in the long run.

 

OMGFREALZ!!! PIXPLS!

 

yeah, but 300 gigs of nude ex pr0n? that's quite a bit...

 

Stick with your current spot. You'll enjoy work more because it's something you look forward to doing plus beefing up that resume.

You'll be a corp ***** later in life. It'll happen to us all. lol

 

That was pretty gay. Dubs are for *****. If you want big wheels and go fast then buy a bmw or a merc that will come with 19s or 20s stock and still be fast. Otherwise I don't see the need to have big wheels and be slow as dog ****. YWIA.

 

But it's a Cadallic!!

Here's how those drives work (Maxtor puts one out).

You install the drive software and connect the drive. You select the directories that are important to you (In your case, c:\gayporn or whatever). You can tell it when to do the backups (on a schedule), or manually back up the data with the button push or by opening the software and telling it to do the backup. Keep in mind that you're only backing up DATA, not doing some kind of image of the OS.

When the **** hits the fan, you get to the point of reinstalling windows (so replace the disk, or just wipe and reinstall the os, whatever), install the backup drive software, and restore your data back to the hard drive, then reconfigure the backups. It's pretty slick.

 

That's exactly what we need. It's our drawing files, client supplied stuff like .pdfs, survey data, etc. that we're worried about.

 

don't forget to store it somewhere safe. You wouldn't want a fire or something ilke that to damage your backup drive.

 

I would keep mine on a gas can next to the flint box.
