  • "What to do about a failing hard drive" Macworld 9:12 AM
  • "It may seem obvious, but I don't see one important step in the discussion of backups: Verification! Backups are useless if you (a) don't make them, or (b) don't know how to recover them, or (c) aren't backing up everything you thought you were. And I'm not talking using the 'verify' option in the backup software. I mean, testing the backups by performing restores. I'm far from a system admin type of person, but in our company, we have none, so i do the little things just to keep things running. But I verify the backup logs once a week to make sure the backups are running. And once a month, I perform a restore of a subset of the data, usually different from the last month. And once restored, I run a comparison program to compare each file/folder with the source, looking for differences. Lessons to learn before you learn the lesson the hard way!" MacInTouch 11:48 AM
