[2014-9-16. : 10:51 pm]  O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- followed by Documents/Starcraft/ (containing such source codes as TinyMap)[2014-9-16. : 10:50 pm]  Devourer -- i do backups like once/twice a year while 'immediately backing up important documents'. My so called 'story station' is doing great and looks like a really beautiful futuristic.... brick on top of my tower.'[2014-9-16. : 10:50 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Oh I will, that's the first folder I copy every time I back up[2014-9-16. : 10:50 pm] Roy -- I hope you backup the source to your backup program using your backup program.[2014-9-16. : 10:49 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I just like writing my own programs for the sake of writing programs.[2014-9-16. : 10:49 pm] Roy -- I guarantee the majority of software solutions that already exist allow customization on what you're backing up.[2014-9-16. : 10:47 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I've considered writing a program so I can just plug in my harddrive and it backs up for me ... There are already loads of programs like that, I know, but I'm too lazy to research them.[2014-9-16. : 10:45 pm] Moose -- So let me get this straight, your only copy of a bunch of material is what you call a "backup"?[2014-9-16. : 10:43 pm] Devourer -- people are searching our forums for "roy", "corbo" and "ip hack" :C[2014-9-16. : 10:37 pm] Roy -- You just need one layer of redundancy: if you were actually treating this hard drive as your backup, you wouldn't have lost anything unless you simultaneously lost one of your other hard drives. It sounds like you were more just using it as a long-storage device.[2014-9-16. : 10:36 pm]  Corbo -- ANd nope, I never did anything to it except add more and more files to it I did not even delete files.[2014-9-16. : 10:36 pm] Corbo -- cause In the end, will I have to back up my back up for the back up HD too?[2014-9-16. : 10:35 pm] Roy -- So you should have everything on your primary drives that you can just throw back onto your backup, right?[2014-9-16. : 10:33 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I accidentally deleted all the pictures off of my camera once (that's not exactly how it happened, but that was the result), and I could only get a few pictures off of it :\[2014-9-16. : 10:32 pm] NudeRaider -- Don't you always have to load the game first, before it can be started?[2014-9-16. : 10:31 pm] Oh_Man -- i got an SSD so i could actually load battlefield 4 before the game started[2014-9-16. : 10:30 pm] Moose -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Roy I commend your imagination for being so accurate. Format all day every day, I got an SSD just so I could format faster Having an old undamaged file index (as you would have after a simple format) minimizes the problem, though. But since people rarely *just* format and then immediately recover it's a major factor of success.[2014-9-16. : 10:29 pm] Roy -- Yeah, it's demonstrably untrue: if there are 5 suiciders and then 10 suiciders, there are 5 more than there were before.[2014-9-16. : 10:28 pm] Devourer -- besides my horrible writing, that statement is not even true, is it?[2014-9-16. : 10:28 pm] NudeRaider -- RoyRoy shouted: Did you regularly defrag your hard drive, Corbo? I imagine recovering fragmented files would be difficult. I commend your imagination for being so accurate. Having an old undamaged file index (as you would have after a simple format) minimizes the problem, though.

I imagine recovering fragmented files would be difficult.[2014-9-16. : 10:23 pm] NudeRaider -- RoyRoy shouted: I generally have very high success rates at keeping my files backed up. That is because you're not a scrub, Roy [2014-9-16. : 10:23 pm] NudeRaider -- actually... I think I once did (or my friend I was helping, rather) and I got like 50% of the files from it.[2014-9-16. : 10:22 pm] Roy -- I generally have very high success rates at keeping my files backed up.[2014-9-16. : 10:21 pm] Roy -- I've generally had minimal luck recovering files, which is why I don't really bother using recover programs anymore. I lost an xcf file when I reinstalled 7 and I just accepted that it's gone.[2014-9-16. : 10:21 pm] NudeRaider -- I just want to point out that there are differences in detection of still accessible files and file indexes. If one program (especially a free one) doesn't show results you are pretty sure should still be there, it's recommended to use a different (if possible non-free) program and try again.[2014-9-16. : 10:15 pm] Corbo -- still.. I am a bit disappointed that it probably won't recover my files... and will have to not sleep today in order to finish the work I had to do T.T[2014-9-16. : 10:13 pm] NudeRaider -- Thanks Roy, but luckily I was generally speaking, so everything I've said still stands. [2014-9-16. : 10:10 pm] Corbo -- yeah... it seems to work... then again, I am a bit worried right now. I did a deep scan and so far it's at 70% and it has only found 22 files...  I never paused it in the morning... I halted my work, will most likely have to work overnight to do it and it seems that it will not recover any files QQ[2014-9-16. : 10:08 pm] Roy -- Also, Corbo mentioned that his drive isn't damaged internally; it was just a bad enclosure.[2014-9-16. : 10:06 pm] Roy -- You should be advised, Nude, that Oh_Man mentioned earlier that he's been using his 500GB hard drive prior to this recovery attempt.[2014-9-16. : 9:50 pm] NudeRaider -- Damn Moose you're quoting so many '90s Hip Hop lyrics it's fucking scary and makes me think you're gangsta, though knowing you from SEN that seems really unlikely.[2014-9-16. : 9:27 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- She said people thought it was funny and started saying it too, then he stopped[2014-9-16. : 9:27 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- My grandma said when my dad first moved here from Texas he'd say "Y'all" all the time |
dark. But I like it.
