I've had hard drives from each of those manufacturers go belly up (and |
16 |
from IBM too). And i wouldn't say siemens does mobiles for a living, |
17 |
it's a huge company involved in everything from power |
18 |
manufacturing/distribution to CRM systems for hotels. |

My powerbook hard drive just went belly up a few days ago (i'm digging |
21 |
to find my applecare warranty info on it.) Fortunately my e-mail (and |
22 |
backups of all my files) is on my gentoo server, made available via the |
23 |
convenient cyrus IMAP server. |

Hmm, this brings forth the question how (and how often) do others backup |
26 |
their systems? (perhaps should be moved from the security list, although |
27 |
backups are an essential part of security). I've got an old OnStream |
28 |
ADR drive I want to get working on my Gentoo server (using AMANDA) but |
29 |
haven't had time to mess around with it lately (fatal last words I guess). |
