Thumbs up CorvetteForum.com is offline briefly to install the most recent software update patch

That is copied/pasted from CF this morning - guess it was not our imagination.

Hope that it works out, got a lot of friends over there.

"What do we do!?"

"I don't know!"

"Maybe if we update the forum software..."

"You know... that just might be crazy enough to work!"

The two times that i have gotten in over my head, I .....

Quit while I was ahead, opened the fire-proof safe, and pulled out the back up drive.

Restored to a week back, resynched documents and emails from the laptop ( or vice versa), tested restores, and was back in business.

All 4 of my computers are backed up on a separate drive on the server, AND on the portable hard drive stored in the fire-proof safe.

Wow, you don't mess around. I use a mirrored array in y desktop in case a HD dies and anything I like copied on to 3 other computers around the house but other than that I don't really have anything too important and it's always fun to start from scratch.

I moved away from RAID arrays -

The viruses or driver faults can just get copied onto the mirrors in a worst case scenario -

Like doing a scheduled backup before you realize you had a serious fault.

My laptop runs a striped RAID array (gaming rig), which I would not do again.
Hard drive performance is so good these days that RAID is more hype than value for a personal user.

My water-cooled tower runs two 150 gig 10,000 RPM Velociraptor drives, and two 500 gig storage drives -
one for photos/music/etc, one for internal backup of the Velociraptors.
