When was the last time you…

1. …went to the doctor?
   A few years ago when gave me that crazy sore throat ninja.
2. …went to the dentist?
   Just after I lost my job, so about a
   year ago.
3. …filled your gas tank?
   Yesterday.
4. …got enough sleep?
   Today.
5. …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…
