Back up Your HDs

Hey Ya'll; just a friendly reminder to backup your hard drives.

My hard drive failed this weekend and so far I've been unable to get any data off it. That's tens of thousands of **** pics, 15 GB of Music, and all my important documents down the drain.

You got ripped off. I got my 160 GB for less than that.

I use a Western Digital 200GB SATA drive. Eventually I'll get around to backing up my 30GB of music, etc etc.. but I've never had problems with Western Digital before so I'm not exactly worried.

What? Didn't I mention I fried a WD drive? You get what you pay for.

Yea WD scares the crap out of me....

You could put me on scare tactics and I'd look that guy from Jamz' video if you told me my servers were running WDs.

Give me Seagate, IBM (Hitachi) or heck even Maxtor

I tried to do this once, and what I ended up with was a copy of my hard drive backed up to my hard drive. So it takes twice the space, and if bad things should happen it is still all gone. I have no idea what i did or how to undo it, so I figured what is the use.
