When was the last time you…
- …went to the doctor? A few years ago when gave me that crazy sore throat ninja.
- …went to the dentist? Just after I lost my job, so about a year ago.
- …filled your gas tank? Yesterday.
- …got enough sleep? Today.
- …backed up your computer?
- Powermac: I did a full homedir backup onto DVD-RW about two months ago, and do periodic backups of my homedir/documents to the fileserver every week or so. I guess it would be a good idea to do a new full backup, now wouldn’t it?
- PC: I never really back this machine up, because I don’t really do any real work on it.. I play games, and do some TiVo video editing, but nothing that really needs constant backups.
- CSH Homedir: Even though CSH does pretty much constant backups of its systems to the RIT Networker system, I still tar.bz2 up my homedir and copy it to my file server here. Call it paranoia, but I like to be in control of my backups.
My fileserver is getting full, but with a job I should be able to buy some new diskspace for it. I plan on getting two 200G+ disks and run mirroring on them to replace the 100G of disk I have in there. Once that is in place, I will have a more automated backup process for my machines…
