it's those darn music videos and mp3's.
black and white ink cartridges. don't want to spend the money.
DVDrs.. I should do a back up of mystuff at some point in case this hard
drive goes boom.
I think it takes like 5 dvds to back this puter up...hmm

good luck with that. nobody has ever restored from a pile of DVDs. just
get some external hard disk, for your muzak and back stuff up on there.

Isn't backing up mean the files your machine has created are assets and
you are safeguarding the assets but the OS who gives a shit with a
"personal machine"?
Cydrome Leader
Did he mention "backup"?
A backup us useless unless it can be used for a restore. Lots of people
seem to forget this important fact and pretend a spindle of CD or DVDs
will somehow help if they lose some data.

I get paid to create and store TIFF, EPS, JPG and PS files. I don't need
to ever restore one of my machines to any former state. If it goes down
I just put a new OS on it. Pretty much the same thing happens in the
prepress department at work too. The job is about the files created not
the machines that are used.

Well hp doesnt give me actual xp install discs so they ask you to do a
restore back up
right out of the box i believe. Of course i didnt do it.
on my old computer i had an actuall copy of windows 98 so if the shark hit
the fin
i could reinstall it.

I find a spindle of CDs or DVDS very helpful when I'm trying to restore
stuff. When you figure out it's not working, just throw them at a wall and
you feel much better.
Cydrome Leader
do you ever need to restore your retarded TIFF, PCX and MS works files?
What if the iomega piece of shit device you probably bought in the
parking lot of cook brothers that you store them on burns out?
having to reinstall windows is no big deal. Losing all the work you did
is, and good luck finding that stuff on some heap of optical media.
Cydrome Leader
hahaha.

Have a seat and take some notes. I'm waiving my $180/hour consulting rate
for this one.
backup = process or writing data somewhere for safe keeping
restore = process of pulling useful data from a backup
If you have a backup or backup system you cannot read, find or restore
from, all you've done is waste your time and you still have nothing.
You can have snazzier systems, but backup and restore still mean the same
thing, even if you're replicating live filesystems between cities while
writing data to tape in both locations nonstop, with couriers that come
and grab boxes of tapes for off site storage, just in case everything
get washed away in a storm or burns down or whatever scenario is funniest
at meetings.
In real life, a stack of CDs/DVDs doesn't work. Nobody ever knows what's
on them, where they're from or where they all are. It's just not
practical. An external hard disk is sort of hokey too, but harder to lose,
or you're notice if it slipped behind the desk, plus you can just browse
the contents easily.
You may not get the cool features of big money backup software, but it's
good enough for most people.

"assets" GTFOH.

Well, that depends on if they need to restore based on project or restore the
entire machine... if you back up projects to CD or DVD, then you can just
restore what you want and leave the rest off your drive...
I'd agree that restoring an entire system from a pile of CDs or DVDs would
be painful... but he's got an 18 year old, that could be good training for
him before trying out for a job at geek squad...

In kenji's case, probably wouldn't use tape. His work is digital imaging. so you
back that up. Otherwise say you have a start-up drive when you first build it
you image the drive with CCC. you came re-image that drive should it fail to a
pristine state, even if you have to plug in a new drive.

Awesome Jim.
I work with more files and information than most people can even
understand.
Even the business people don't fuck around and come up with stupid new
terms for anything other than what it is- data.
What's that next name for a tiff file?
Digital filing cabinets?
info-files?
e-imaging, or maybe E-imaging 2000 Plus
virtual paper?
compu-foto?
