When
I suffered a monumental system crash a few years ago,
that not only destroyed my
computer but the backup drive as well, I was bereft.
I did cobble together a semblance of history using several thumb
drives, and by
mining info from three old computers stashed in the basement. When the
smoke cleared I was left with most everything post 2008 (Except most of
my Obama files?).
While
house cleaning
on Friday, I discovered a stash of forgotten CD
back-ups. OMFG! The past few days I've been mining
them. So far I've
recovered approx. 300,000 pictures, and countless texts and e-mail
data. From time to time I'll repost some that have relevance, or
just
amuse me. Like these. |

I discovered a stash....
ReplyDeleteGood for us! A rare appearance of Looter Man.
On the downside, I am concerned about any Howard Dean imagery, vis-à-vis the current Bernie hysteria. People might start connecting the dots, and Vermonters not look so good.
BTW, did I mention I'm a Floridian?
We have long memories Helly.
ReplyDeleteDo you have better backup now?
ReplyDeleteNope. None, as a matter of fact. Fkm
ReplyDeleteRon in Ohio Sez;
ReplyDeleteGreat Rog! I too lost a ton of stuff when, first my old PC and then my Lap-Top crashed. Then, to make matters worse; I also lost my first W-D "My-Book" remote hard drive.
I haven't been able to recover anything. But, I too discovered a ton of stuff that I had forgotten that I put on C-D's and DVD's. Mine dates back to about 2000 (I got my first PC in '92) and I have a lot of the old Clinton dirt and the early Bush bashing.
I still try every now and then to recover something off of one of those drives. I haven't yet given-up completely.!
So now I'm paranoid and when I save something on my PC's hard drive I also save a copy on the new W-D remote, sometimes on my wife's W-D remote too and periodically on DVD's. Even some thumb drives have "must have" account and password info on them.
