Just placed my HD in the freezer - let's see how it goes - GoFuckYourself.com

Antonio · 09-07-2012, 11:06 AM

Fucking Seagate - I've had HDs crashing before, but noting like that - it stopped working in a split second while I was jerking off to some Japanese porn; usually, I would start hearing some cracking noise, but the HD would be working for a week or longer, giving me more than enough time to get out everything I need.

I have backups for pretty much most of the important stuff, but it'll still take me days to go back to normal. Just put the HD in the freezer - I know that it is a long shot, but what the heck, if it works, it works....

What is the easiest way to set up automatic backup?????? External HD and some RAID shit (never done that before)?

CyberHustler · 09-07-2012, 11:09 AM

You not supposed to pop on the HD homie, there's nut rags (socks) for that. Freezer can't fix bad masturbation etiquette my nigga.

Antonio · 09-07-2012, 11:29 AM

The HD malfunction happened way before popping time, I had to switch to PC2 to finish what I'd started....

Scott McD · 09-07-2012, 11:30 AM

The freezer trick never worked for me when i needed it a couple of years back.

Antonio · 09-08-2012, 08:41 AM

didn't work at all - took it out after keeping it overnight in the freezer, the clicking sound was less louder, but still didn't work .... grrrrrrrrrr

I use Second Copy to back up my files. Saved my behind a few times already.

Ohh and I don't like Segate HD. Rather use WD or Hitachi. But oddly Im using it on my Macbook. The only one available at the time. We'll see.

shake · 09-08-2012, 09:09 AM

For windows, volume shadow copy turned on and backing up to an external USB drive (USB 3 is nice and fast, and pretty cheap).

Also, get a subscription to crashplan or one of their competitors for around $5 a month - it works great.

Myself I switched to using a Mac for my important things - time machine works so well.

freecartoonporn · 09-08-2012, 09:22 AM

NAS is what you need.

mikke · 09-08-2012, 09:41 AM

NAS + time machine

oscer · 09-08-2012, 10:00 AM

I have had the freezer work in many cases but not all . Good luck

BIGTYMER · 09-08-2012, 10:02 AM

Time to invest in a nice NAS device.

AllAboutCams · 09-08-2012, 10:04 AM

When setting up backups with win7 is there a way to only copy modified files to backup as mine keeps wring untill the drive is full

rowan · 09-08-2012, 11:41 AM

Freezer is the last thing you try, not the first.

You've been lucky in the past with slow failures, but they don't always go that way!

Same here. In 1997 I had a Seagate crap out on me, and so did the replacement they sent me. I won't buy them anymore, even though I realize manufacturers can have bad batches and every manufacturer has had problems.

I've had WD, Hitachi, and even Samsung drives without problems and I just prefer to use them over Seagate.

Va2k · 09-08-2012, 02:43 PM

Yea I got a Segate terr and it wouldn't even work when I got from the ups man

robwod · 09-08-2012, 02:52 PM

I've actually had nothing but great results from Seagate. The only hard drives I've ever had fail on me were more recent WD's and older Maxtor drives. But Seagate drives have never once caused me grief in the 15+ years I've been using them.

Having said that, I agree with having a solid NAS drive. You can even pick up a reasonably decent WD NAS drive for under $200.

One little tool I find really useful for incremental backups is from the same people who make RoboForm -- called GoodSync. You can schedule backups of all drives, external drives, NAS drives, or heck, you can even use it to sync your server's drives to a local drive. And no need to put anything inside some other service's "cloud". And it allows you to store multiple day's copies of files so you can go back X number of days for a specific file edit.

Good luck getting back up to speed.

Barry-xlovecam · 09-08-2012, 03:58 PM

Debian/Ubuntu sbackup
Windoz good luck I would make hard copies to DVD RW of the files themselves -- have a record of the data

The backups should be on a separate hard drive (or 2)

Code:

:~$ mkdir backup
:~$ dpkg --get-selections > backup/installed-software.log

Make a list of your installed software on Debian/Ubuntu

NaughtyRob · 09-08-2012, 04:06 PM

Seagate seems to be the only HD that has ever died on me.

Brad Mitchell · 09-08-2012, 05:50 PM

Hard drives fail at a rate of several percent annually. If you want lower failure rates, buy a non consumer drive. Doesn't matter what manufacturer. If you heard clicking there is a mechanical error and your drive is toast, at best try to copy your data off. Your data can be saved for around 900 in a lab clean room if all else fails, I have a place to recommend.

Any idea on how to use it with rsync?

robwod · 09-09-2012, 04:26 AM

Theo, it is its own sync tool, so not sure what you mean --it does not need to use an external rsync on a server. It just runs locally from your computer and can connect to web servers, or sync/backup local drives, external drives, NAS drives and local network drives.

You have the option when creating a job to create a 2-way sync (meaning whichever side has the newest file wins), or a simply mirror backup.

candyflip · 09-09-2012, 04:30 AM

NAS + Time Machine as has already been posted. Saved my butt recently.

RAID1 for continuity
