Over the years I've lost a pretty good amount of things. A couple of weeks ago I had FCP just randomly freeze while capturing video and it messed my drive up. I had to use the special scavenge mode in Disk Warrior to fix it. So now I have a NewerTech mirrored raid so everything is written to two drives at once. Then if one drive fails you can replace it while still having access to everything on the other drive. But that still doesn't help if you have something happen like my FCP weirdness a couple of weeks ago. So I have yet another drive that backs up my computer and my raid using Time Machine. Now I'm covered unless something bad happens right here at my desk. But if that happens, I may have more to worry about than hard drives. - Verdi On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 7:27 PM, Irene Duma <ir...@strangeduck.com <mailto:irene%40strangeduck.com> > wrote: > Argh.
