/wishes he was in a keeper board draft too -- nm - Guy Aug 25, 14:31 2
- I didn't even know we were drafting, Don Homer said it would be *after* Astronaunts...I stumbled into the draft. -- nm - Stacy Aug 25, 14:34 1
  - Sorry; it was changed after I said that. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 25, 14:35
DeSean Jackson, Shaun is up. -- nm - Beaker Aug 25, 14:29
guigue poll: is your work computer currently backed up? - Andie Aug 25, 14:26 10
- I save everything on the network drive. But then that's backed up by a govt IT guy so who knows? -- nm - CovingtonCat Aug 25, 14:42
- everything is saved/located on a network drive. - tRuMaN (cell phone version) Aug 25, 14:38
- I don't save anything to a hard drive but, yes, everything saved to the network is backed up nightly. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 25, 14:36
- No, but it doesn't hold any important data. -- nm - Subversive Aug 25, 14:34
- yeah -- nm - Epiphany Aug 25, 14:33
- I think so, if I'm understanding the way things work around here. -- nm - mara Aug 25, 14:30
- At the end of a day's work, I send a copy to myself... - OAE Aug 25, 14:28
- We have files from shoots that don't exist anywhere else on our computer and close to nothing is backed up, it's ridiculous - Guigue Aug 25, 14:28
- not really. most of my stuff is on a shared network drive, though. -- nm - znufrii Aug 25, 14:28
- yes yes -- nm - CQ Aug 25, 14:27
[deleted]
Yay! Our huge 1.5 TB hard drive filled with projects that were not backuped crashed and we lost everything! Yipie! - Guigue Aug 25, 14:13 29
- Job Security - you get to do it all over again -- nm - CovingtonCat Aug 25, 14:23
- I've had that happen a couple of times recently. Was it a Seagate? -- nm - David, Nailin' It Aug 25, 14:21 22
  - It was actually a RAID tower with 6 HDs in it. I wasn't there (Thank God) but apparently we had power issues, and it fried the controller and 2 drives -- nm - Guigue Aug 25, 14:23 21
    - so...you still have 4 god drive no problem - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:24 10
      - No, RAID 5 can only handle 1 drive failure. 2 drive failures and you're pretty much SOL. - Subversive Aug 25, 14:28 5
        
        he has 4 good drive (and needs only 3) - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:31 4
        
        No, a RAID 5 array with 6 drives could lose 1 drive without a problem. If it loses 2 drives, it's toast. - Subversive Aug 25, 14:33 3
        
        6 drives = - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:36 2
        
        Then that's not a RAID 5 array - Subversive Aug 25, 14:39 1
        
        well it's a IBM RAID 5 array from about 1995 - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:45
      - It was RAID 5 so there's a chance it could be recovered but it's in the pro's hands right now and apparently it's not looking good -- nm - Guigue Aug 25, 14:27 3
        
        well then there is something else wrong - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:30 2
        
        Hopefully this will be a wake up call, but I doubt it - Guigue Aug 25, 14:31 1
        
        like i said someone just works longer!! - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:34
    - It wasn't on a UPS? -- nm - Scorpion Aug 25, 14:24 9
      - We're not really good at work for those things. I do my best to make things work but I'm an editor and it shouldn't be my job, I just don't have time - Guigue Aug 25, 14:26 8
        
        you create stuff??? well thats just a wrong way to look at atuff - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:27
        
        Mozy.com, very easy to use, very affordable in comparison to buying tape systems -- nm - Scorpion Aug 25, 14:27 6
        
        We would have aroung 5-6 TB of stuff to back up... - Guigue Aug 25, 14:30 5
        
        well you don't replace all that data on a daily basis do you? - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:32 4
        
        At the very least 100GB, and sometimes we digitize 800+ in a day -- nm - Guigue Aug 25, 14:37 1
        
        UPS ...ASAP i'd say and mirror systems - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:40
        
        he does video editing, so maybe -- nm - zork Aug 25, 14:36 1
        
        crap...then - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:38
- wow, that's, uh, brutal. sorry. -- nm - Andie Aug 25, 14:18 3
  - (but where are your hawaii pics?) -- nm - Andie Aug 25, 14:19 2
    - I JUST arrived yesterday at midnight, and I like to bring them in Photoshop a little before posting my pics (especially the ones I worked hard one). I - Guigue Aug 25, 14:24
    - my guess...on that 1.5 GB drive -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:20
- real men don't make backups - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:17

We're interviewing potential interns this week and I always ask what some of their favorite recent movies are, and someone answered (spoilers) - Dano Aug 25, 13:55 2
- Ask for descriptions of why they are your favorite and see the response -- nm - MDH Aug 25, 13:56 1
  - I do ask them to explain why they liked them as well. -- nm - Dano Aug 25, 13:57

- also, it should be noted that many sters have not bothered to add their info to the hsx tt wiki. -- nm - tRuMaN (cell phone version) Aug 25, 13:56 4

- wait, we have rules? -- nm - tRuMaN (cell phone version) Aug 25, 13:51 6

- I am not quite understanding the problem here - Epiphany Aug 25, 13:48 12

    - I wouldn't worry about it unless you get to a point where once a day isn't enough - oblique Aug 25, 13:55 4
      - It's not something I'm worried about. I just found it oddly intriguing. -- nm - Dano Aug 25, 13:56 3
        
        I agree it is intriguing - I wonder why it does that. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 25, 13:58 2
        
        maybe he is addicted to the endorphins that are released. -- nm - tRuMaN (cell phone version) Aug 25, 13:59 1
