DON"T DO AS I DO!!!! I should have learned from what I tell my clients! If its worth backing up once, its worth backing up twice.

The CDRW that had most of my reference pictures died and is irretrievable.

Three years worth of photos gone. I made a copy once to give to a friend, hopefully he still has it. But with my luck lately, he won't.

Arrrrggghhhhh!!!!
Thanks for reading this vent.

I can relate Dave! Been there, done that!

I better stop procrastinating and burn a few CD's of my stuff.....

Advise heard and not heeded, is a form of stupid....... LOL......

Well at least you burned them to CDROM. I still have hogging up space on my hard drive!!!

Always make at least 2 TESTED backups...learned that the real hard way in the days before RAID arrays.

That's too bad David! Hopefully your friend will have his copy! Good luck!

Thanks guys.
Well, I was right he can't find his. Oh well!! I've learned my lesson :-) :-) :-). Everything thats left got burned to two CDs last night. Time to start combing the web again. Anyone know a site with pictures of the T-72s at NTC????

Guess I should be happy I'm running a RAID drive and have most photos and downloads burnt to DVD's 2 times over.
Learned the hard way many years ago ... I

I'm so happy right now!!!!!!

My buddy just shipped me a copy of the CD I had burned for him. I got everything back!!!! YAAAAAHHHHHHOOOOO!!!!

Cheers to Rich!!

OK, I'm coming down now.

Good deal Dave..I'm really glad you were able to replace all your treasures.....Now..go make a few more copies...Just in case...)

Already burned two new copies plus added in all the "new research" as well. Found some room on my work RAID server too.

Still smiling. :-)
