be backing it up. IOW, frequent and redundant backups -- serving both archival and operational needs -- is for all practical purposes the only defense.
redundency is the key, but do not think you wont ever loose data :-(. Be prepared said young boys once :-) my last recent example is using unison (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/) in goal of having real udentical disks (with two work location and a shuttle disk). I ended with two disks full of zero size files!!! happy I had a redundency third copy :-) probable reason (?) the new hard drive was failing after one week use :-(. But it's not the first time I experienced that, and it's really dangerous: is some part of your disk fails silently you may well have copied each time the zeroed file!! good dvd or Blu-Ray can't be zeroed by software :-) - but they can by other mean, randomly jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
