[Hidden-tech] lacie extreme disk error messages

[Lynne Rudié]

Hi Jeff,
	I agree, a back-up centered event would be very useful. Data backup  
is only boring when everything is working well. And it's so important.
	I have my oldest files on piles of CD's and removeable drives. (It's  
not worth re-copying them onto other media, and mostly what's there I  
don't need anymore, but once in a while they come in very handy.) I  
have four external back up drives and another one which has bootable  
copies of all my software. Sometimes it seems like over-kill but  
experience teaches us that multiple redundancy is the safest plan.
	If only technology wouldn't keep changing then knowing the best way  
to store important files and data would be easy. Not that I want  
technology to stand still--really not--but it seems as though storage  
is one of those things we love to ignore until it starts screwing up.
	I don't know much about on-line storage options but I'd love to hear  
about the experiences other members are having.
	Sign me up for the event, I'm looking forward to it!
	Lynne
