In the beginning of January, Allan Odgaard managed to short circuit his harddisk. His hope is that someone has an identical harddisk, from which he can borrow the control print to restore his data. "The model is a Seagate ST3660A and the drive parameters are 1057CYL-16HEADS-63SECT-545.5MB." Also see his original message.

Seagate ST3660A needed : Comment 22 of 34 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Chris on 17-Jan-2001 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 8 (Anonymous): No, it`s quite feasable to do backups of several Gb of HD. With a CD burner all
you need to do is create a reference backup containing your full system and then
to incremental backups from then on. I do daily incremental backups to a second
HD, a monthly incremental to CD and an annual reference backup. But I am the
exception rather than the rule - I was burned early on in my computing life -
and few people have the time or patience to do it..
I'm not criticising Allan, if I had a suitable seagate I'd have sent the board
in the post by now, just pointing out that large scale backups are possible if
you have experience in doing them and the time to set it all up. |
