Do yourself a huge favor, back it up.
 
Seriously folks, if you are not doing regular backups you are playing Russian Roulette.

Spend a couple hundred, get a decent sized external drive (500 GB min) make an image of your drive then do backups every few days.

Someday you will be glad you did.

Yeah that's what I'm using for files I don't want to lose...I just upload them to my server...But I do need to get an external though.

Uh.....Most backup systems can be set to automatically run on specific days/times.

PandaFucker 02-22-2008 06:15 PM

maybe this thread u made the other day

gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=809613

and the fact that you now made this thread, which makes it obvious that you are pissed because you lost a lot of shit.

You're not fooling anybody, idiot... so just do yourself a favour and shut up..

this, after you already made an ass of yourself basically having a forum that links to stolen content.. and you say "well i dont have time to clean it up myself... so if any program owners wanna dedicate their resources to make sure that stolen content is not posted on MY forum... icq me so i can give you the link"


it's funny how you do all this retarded shit, and you run a PR company also..

how big of a joke is that

No, actually I am relieved that I was able to save as much as I was.

I lost the install for two programs, and about 5 days of email.

You never really know how good your backups are until you have to use them.

cherrylula 02-22-2008 06:21 PM

thanks for the reminder, I have a drive and need to do this regularly.

PandaFucker 02-22-2008 06:24 PM

Oh really... then that's why you were this furious in this thread

gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=809613

right? because you only lost "two installs of progams and 5 days of email"


then how do you explain this...

Had happened to me once, it sucks :(

Oh, I have an image of the drive and backups, but the last backup was maybe two weeks ago because I kept leaving town and did not hook it back up. Luckily, most of the really important emails go thru our ticket system so they are stored away on a server.


PandaFucker 02-22-2008 06:25 PM

Owned.

I wonder who is stupid enough to use your PR service....

CyberHustler 02-22-2008 06:25 PM

I do once a week, every Sunday. I learned the hard way. :Oh crap

ProjectNaked 02-22-2008 06:26 PM

considering 500gb externals are only $150 you would be foolish not too :)

First off, I am not sure how my ability to write press releases has to do with anything. But as far as who has used our service, that it easy enough to discover.

Secondly, when I made that post it was what, 2:30 AM and I had just done the system restore, so I had yet to discover just how well my backups were going to work, much less whether or not it had actually saved passwords and bookmarks for literally hundreds of servers and sites. So far, I think only one board did not save the password, but I may not have clicked "remember me" on it. I don't visit it often.

As far as two weeks since the last backup, well, that equated to maybe 10 bookmarks that had been added in that time. I did lose outgoing mail, but since I save my incoming on all 15 accounts on their relative servers for 5 days, there is only a 10 day gap that I am missing. Anything that deals with support for GotWebHost goes thru our ticket system first, so to be honest, I don't even need to save it locally if I don't want. It is just more convenient for me to sort it in my own way locally.

Sorry Mikey, I wish I could be crying, but unfortunately, this even had a silver lining.

You see, a few weeks ago something got corrupted on my ICQ db and no matter what, it would not allow me to reinstall ICQ 2001B and I was forced to use this piece of crap version 6. Since I had to completely restore my system to an out-of-box state prior to using my backups, I discovered that my old version of ICQ (which happened to be stashed on a flash drive when I was attempting to find a work around) was now eagerly accepted and I am back to running my tried and true ICQ.

On top of that, I will be able to restore a couple years of history that I thought I was going to have to put in an excel file or something.

My laptop hd just died... Lost some good shit! :(

Atleast most of my stuff is backed up on my desktops...

And I was able to successfully save all my FTP logins complete with passwords.

Unfortunately, one of the install programs I lost was PS, so MSPaint will have to suffice for the time being. You know MSPaint, don't you Mikey?

Okay . . . and if I do, then will you kill yourself? Because I will for sure if you promise me that.

FYI, I don't have a desktop computer.

Besides, look at the system tray. There is a dead giveaway that I am on a laptop.

And what will you do if I prove it? Will you leave GFY forever? Will you kill yourself? What will a picture prove? You will just suggest I am using someone else's.

Baddog.. i know you may get confused, since you're going senile.. but it says 9:10 because beemk is in a different time zone... so yes... even though it appears to be in the future, i sent him that message before i tricked you into posting pics of your laptop..

now... eat your oatmeal and go to your bed... you are allowed to watch matlock, but after that it's lights out! :mad:
