Good Morning! (from this time zone) In today's issue, this:
I have two hard drives, and use a surge protector. The newest/biggest hard > drive is for work and the older/smaller one is for experiments with > different distributions and more pertinently for my two backup partitions. > Overnight my work files (/usr/local and /home ) are backed up to partitions > on drive number 2. > > About every three years I buy a still newer and bigger drive. The oldest > drive is retired, the remaining drive is demoted to backup duty and the > newest is now the daily work drive. I buy hardware from Tiger Direct. Wait,what happens to the oldest drive? You don't throw it away, do you? Can I have it (them)? (I can't afford new drives, I have to choose between food and new drives, and food wins)(yes, I am almost dirt poor. I had to walk to school in the winter with just bread bags on my feet, and it was up-hill both ways....)
