Dill_Pickle Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 It's hard to buy a hard drive with less than 300 Gig on it these days. Link to comment
DailyDi Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 What's scary is that if you figure an average of a $1 spent per picture... Link to comment
Dirty Diaper/Maxipad Lover Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Stats for my Diaper Photos Backup drive: Just the pro sets. I hope you have redundant backups of those and not just a single drive Mikey. At an average of $1 per picture I'd hate to see you lose something to a couple of technical glitches. Link to comment
DailyDi Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yeah, 3 backups currently on different media types. Link to comment
Dirty Diaper/Maxipad Lover Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I'm glad to hear that you've got everything archived properly Mikey, not everyone is as on top of things as you are. Link to comment

Dirty Diaper/Maxipad Lover Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Have learned from lost sets I can never get back from the early years! (Hard drive corruption) I'm sorry to hear that Mikey. Did you ever try to contact members to see if any of them had material from those sets you'd lost in an attempt to recover them? I've kind of wondered how you would handle the worst case scenario, but I didn't realize you'd actually been through it once. Although what I lost wasn't nearly as significant, I also learned to back my stuff up the hard way. Link to comment
DailyDi Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 What was lost was early professional sets. Some of my favorites from before everyone with a cell phone thought they were a pro photographer. Have recovered some of them by reaching out to the original producers, but people in that field come and go (and one of my early major producers died) so not all could be rediscovered.

Dirty Diaper/Maxipad Lover Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 That's really a shame that some of the earliest material from the site was lost. I figured you might be able to recover some of them by reaching out to the original producers, but I had always wondered if you ever contacted members from the early days who might have saved copies to their own computers. I didn't expect you to recover everything, and I'm sure any copies saved by members would likely be watermarked with an older watermark at that, but at least they'd be something. At least you were able to save some of them though. Link to comment

h200420012 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Stats for my Diaper Photos Backup drive: Just the pro sets. Capture.PNG Do you have a copy of "paint girl"?? It was on this site back around 2005...when you needed a username to get past the front page. Just curious. Link to comment
DailyDi Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 I should, quote this post tomorrow to remind me to go through the folders Link to comment
h200420012 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Rgr. That was a cute set. Even if it didn't involve diapers. Link to comment

Dirty Diaper/Maxipad Lover Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 And yet you have made me paranoid enough that I have decided to add a business-grade tape-drive to my system for an additional layer of security. I'm not sure whether I should say "I'm sorry," or "You're Welcome." I've actually been considering an LTO tape drive myself for a few months now. I've got several TB+ hard drives around here, and a tape drive could make managing them quite a bit easier. Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I like the simpler life. The only files I'm concerned about are the one's you'd better put in the cake you bring me next time I wind up in jail Link to comment
willnotwill Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 One thing is that tapes are only good for short term archives. Link to comment
DailyDi Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Ended up going with an RDX removeable hard drive system. Good shock-resistant drives in hard cases. Made by several companies and a trusted format so should be around a while. USB 3 connection for good transfer speed. Link to comment
