Well not really a news, my wife's computer is broken and I spend the whole day trying to repair and recover data. Result: nada ! Tuesday we'll receive her new computer. I'll mount and install it.

Dan

Tuesday! :rofl:

 

[jinglesassy]

sorry to hear about that dan and i dont bother with trying to recover data i just install it into my new computer and see if anything on it will work if not i just reformat it and say i got a second hard drive

The good news of course is that you restart with a fresh installation, but in our case we sales on internet so the crypted disk with all my wife's customers mails is gone. In her case it's not too bad as she sell...embroidery, usually they don't ask unlock code or support years after

She's not so sad, her new computer will be better than mine with a fresh install (XP oem )

In my case I would really be p... to loose years of coding and work so I have almost daily backup on a second HD and a weekly backup on 2 USB key that are not in the same room. (all encrypted) Still I'm not really relax, there is no real proof backup for normal peoples. (fire, flood, thieve etc)

[jinglesassy]

you can back up your important data online dan

 

[dansteph]

I have one hours upload just for one UCGO video (40mb) , my crypted disk with all my vital data is about 10GB....

And I'll never trust internet for my vital data. There is no law and no security.

Then get an external HD. Best thing I ever got. Though the prices and changes in technology are annoying, I bought a 250GB eHD for $100 and now I see that for $100 you can get 1TB!

Funny thing though, I have barely used up maybe a quarter of the 250GB, and thats mostly because I have something like 7 OS .iso s stored on it. :thumbup:

 

[jinglesassy]

why do you have dial up dan?

 

[sunshine135]

why do you have dial up dan?

LOL :rofl:

Dan, you don't really have dial up do you? I thought the whole European Continent had fiber optic service. Even I have 12MB download and 768 up. I though a guy like you would have E1. Then again, maybe too expensive.

I know you said that the Internet is not secure, but you can get an offsite server with some VPN encryption. That is pretty tough security to beat and no less secure than using AES WPA2 on your wireless at home.

Cheers,

Even I have 12MB download and 768 up.

Woh, it seems where I live everyone has 256Kbs still... We only updated to 768Kbs just recently, and I thought that was fast

 

[Urwumpe]

256 KB/s here, though we pay for 500 KB/s... the signal quality dropped.
Fiberoptics is not that common here, it is mostly in the eastern states of Germany...luckily, because DSL over fiberoptics was not sold until a few years ago.

 

[alrik]

Here in Spain we have 6Mb and 128Kb so... you are all very lucky guys.

 

[jinglesassy]

i pay for 50 mbps and i get 264 kbps down and 100 kbps up

 

[Bj]

i pay for 50 mbps and i get 264 kbps down and 100 kbps up

woh your really getting ripped off, maybe you should ask to pay for what your getting :thumbup: but um...


:threadjacked:

 

[jinglesassy]

yeah lets get back on topic

 

[alrik]

How much you pay for your internet access? Here we are paying 64€/month for the connection i've mentioned up (With country phone calls). (No option to 50Mb) The better connection that our internet provider gives is only for enterprises and it cost 100€/month 1.5Mb up 1.5Mb down.

Anyway there are places here that there are no posibilities to get an internet access (And the speed that they sell depends on distance to the phone central).

We don't have fiber yet.

But jinglesassy you should complain... that is a ****!!

 

[jinglesassy]

complain? i am suing them becuse of it its ridiculous

 

[alrik]

Ops in Spain a single person can't sue a company (The person have all on it's counterside). Good luck I hope you win

 

[dansteph]

I pay about 31 euro and have 2048/128 ADSL. Good download ratio but upload suck.

Dan, you don't really have dial up do you?

I don't remember having been able to transfer 40 MegaByte in one hours with a good 'ol dialup connection, maybe I missed something at this time ?

Anyway even with a better connection I would not upload my 10GB as backup... Too slow and sorry I really don't trust internet even encrypted for such things. My 10Gb represent 15 years of work, this is not hollidays photo

Totally agree with Dan on this one. The server you're uploading to could be located in Fort Knox, guarded by a three-headed Cerberos, and have magic spells to protect it....but unless that server is owned and operated by you, someone else is responsible for it. And the way governments and laws are moving (intrusively) these days, I would not entrust my private data to someone else's server, no matter how secure it is.
