[NLRS] WA2VOI DISASTER

[S. Earl Jarosh]

At the risk of sounding like I am starting a flame........

Ok,  I am not a zealot for or against that company but they have always
included real backup tools with their OS's.  If anybody is unsure I can
guide them in every OS going back through DOS.  At the very least even I can
write a simple .bat file using the copy command and stick it in a schedule
to copy critical files across the network, internet, flash drives or any
other media attached to the computer or network on a daily or any other
scheduled basis but yes, there are many other better free and licensed
products that accomplish this.  

With the price of HD's and flash today I stopped using tape a long time ago.
I now create backup servers with cd/dvd burn capability and rotate hard
drives out before they reach their MTBF specs.

By the way, Ubuntu is really really cool with a 3D graphics card!

Sorry to hear Donn...

I have to ask of course, were you using Windows?  Does anyone ever wonder
why that OS vendor does not provide any backup tools?

These guys do data recovery here in town... but it is spendy:

Good luck.
