Yeah I had that 'hard drive click of death' last year on one of my external drives... Luckily I had a duplicate copy on another external drive.
At the moment I'm toying with disaster again with a lot of data only existing on the larger of the two external drives.
Time for another drive to ensure redundancy metinks... Damn those things fill up quickly though.
It always amazes me though when I hear about small to mid size companies that have for instance had a break in, their computers stolen for example and the resulting havoc it caused.
My first question is normally : But didn't you have a backup of your client data?
Answer : Err... No...
I can understand how that can happen in a home environment, but to a business? Really?
Some great tips in that article esp. re. keeping an off site copy of your backups etc.
