Remember to update your backups if you plan on keeping any older data.
This weekend I spent 10 hours trying to get an old MFM hard disk (30 megs!) to work so I could get some important shit off of them. Dont let this happen to you. if you move up to a new system, recreate your backups if you have to jump through a big hoop to get to your old ones. Next up: My floppy disks and my 120 meg tapes. |
MFM hard disk? is that from like a 286 or 386 computer?
Usually the biggest problem with backups IMO is not the longevity or shelf life but the fact that its technology will go obsolete and be unusable.
