Just placed my HD in the freezer - let's see how it goes
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)? |

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.

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.

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. http://www.goodsync.com/ Good luck getting back up to speed.

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

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.

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.
