At the beginning of this year I moved from Ubuntu 10.04 to Kubuntu 12.04. Before I installed Kubuntu I more or less followed rigid backup plan. After I installed Kubuntu I got a little relaxed. I was busy configuring my desktops and playing with the desktop effects. My backup computer/file server is an old Pentium 4 computer from 2002 which has been rock solid for years. I failed to realize it has aging hard drives. Today with little warning one of the data drives started to fail. I heard the thrashing and clicking and immediately started backing up the most important data, family photos. Next I backed up the family vidoes. The drive died before a got to the documents. Fortunately my current files are on the newer computer. I have multiple backup copies and occasionally back up to data DVD which minimized the loss.
Wow! What a helpless feeling and a lesson learned.
