Catastropic failure
« on: August 01, 2005, 08:59:14 pm »
my web site has just experienced a catastrophic failure ...  everything we had in file is gone.  I am trying to reconstruct ...

this Will take a while since I have no real idea what I'm doing and I'm having a tough time getting some local help.

thanks

First let me start off by saying we sympathize with your loss, and good luck...

But as I use to say to clients I was tech supporting for a back up software program...

At what point did your data become important to you?   

That point is usually about 5 mins after it's gone poof...If you don't do your backups, and backup often...then well you lose data...

Again...good luck...

Tell me about it ..  I have to put a new power supply in my puter so I can use the 2nd hard drive.  ( The whole system spikes over recommended useage when it engages)  All I have to do is format it to Windblows XP ...  and start loading back up stuff.  I have plenty of room (180gig on one ..   120 on the back up).

Oh welll....  It's no ones fault but mine. 

I got to run ....  This has kept me up late ..  5 hours sleep then up and going for another 12 hour day at work !

WOO HOO !

If you need a power supply, I highly recommend Antec power supplies.  They've been around for a very long time and have earned the reputation for taking abuse and still dishing out a constant and stable flow of power.  I have one in my system, and never had a problem with it.  With those drives you have, I recommend nothing less than a 480 watt power supply.  The extra power could come in handy one day.

yeah ...  tell me about it ..  I'm at 350w now ..  and with this full sized tower and two extra fans ..   I'm pushin' it !

I think I have enough basic stuff back up for now. 

Maybe I can talk my son the "Web Master Genius" to lend an hand and get th kinks fixed.  He could don it in a matter of minutes since all of the art work is already done....

Hmmmm  (Ol Buzzard stops and thinks about the implications of son offering help for free !)
