Those were the days when I pottered around with electronic devices for a living. I know how you feel Randy



I bought a WD Home back up server, with 4 hard drives in a raid configuration. I back up all my documents from my laptop, so if it crashes I have a full back up. It also backs up my mobile photos from anywhere in the world on wifi

I write things down and store in a shoe box under bed !

Randy, americans doing well in the Vuelta. Although Ben King has two stage victories now, Sepp Kuss is the one I'm keeping my eye on.

It's been a while since I've had a major FUBAR. 2 weeks ago I lost my backup, backup drive. Long story short water don't agree with external drives . My other backup was on a partion, yes you know where this is going, that I had the backup software copy to the external drive.

Anyhoo I'm in the process of copying the backup folder over to a new drive when the pc just stops. No worries I thinks, just the odd crash like normal. Can't restart PC, , , ,.

It's tested by experts, full on HD failure. New drive required. About 8 years of stuff gone, but hey I got the backup didn't I. Erm No. The backup didn't complete and what was ported is unusable .

I've just built a new PC. Backup now goes to a seperate drive and that now gets copied to and external drive. Just as well it was all personal stuff not business.

You can pay a dollar or two to certain companies to recover files from failed hard drives.
I assume they mount the drive disks into another mschine and simply recover the files.

Tried that. Head drag apparently lunched the platters .

Is that a technical term?

I used a professional piece of software to try and repair/recover .my failed SSD. It didn't work. I know that specialists companies can recover deleted/ corrupted data but they charge per megabyte to recover. It's very expensive and only used for legal or life death situations

I don't know, but it's more polite than F@£&+d

It has just moved a bit. Same guys mostly on a different training forum. Get involved in Zwift and enjoy the social banter that comes with it.

 

[CXRAndy]

Andy(AAAC) get on Zwift, give good try out not just one or two rides. Reset your Bkool trainer once in Zwift or get a crank power meter and use the Bkool as a dumb trainer. There is so much racing going on, for you the world is your oyster.

I suspect Bkool arent doing so great now, hell even their national Grand tour-Vuelta is sponsored by Zwift

 

[berty bassett]

Aaac - come on mate - it aint the same not seeing you disappear up the road !give zwift a trial - bimble around once or twice then try 3 races - i am sure by the third you will be hooked , totally different from just riding and once you get cat you get to know your enemies . zwift is already good iand i think it can only get better
