Emails may be bouncing due to 'spam' s/w. Last two posts I received from VE3SY & W9OL, Firefox thought "it was a scam". I'm not sure what the trigger is...maybe the 're:', but it wasn't on Bill's msg.
Dick From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 13 11:50:52 2007 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Bill) Date: Tue Feb 13 11:54:53 2007 Subject: [Dxbase] I'm more anal about backups....than anyone In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One thing that I have not seen mentioned is the importance of "archiving" the files. Ten copies of the files made ten times a day in ten different countries, will not help when you find that the file has some internal corruption. It is important when considering backups, to remember that if you copy your backup file OVER the previous backup file, you have no where to turn. All of your copies will be bad. Sometimes file problems may not be found until much later than the damage appeared. Sometimes it can be operator error and a mistake made that does not show up until much later. It you do not have a well planned series of backups done at previous times, you still have very limited backups. It is a good idea to as many steps backwards in time as you can afford to keep.
