Backup

Posted on November 2, 2003 by Arthur

I‘m currently overlooking the backup of precious code and data to a CD: I grabbed a BackPack (MicroSolutions) from work. Quite an experience to install those drivers too: the old MyNote resisted to let any new hardware install on its W2K partition. I ended up pumping data to Elsie (Mom’s PC) via FTP. I haven’t had time to install Linux yet on that PC: I refuse to install Caldera’s Linux Desktop on Elsie, as I once did before on Gayle’s old PC. Alf’s Debian CDs, once dropped here during his last visit, are (alas) not working due to a (known) bug in the installation script.

I think there was over 100 MB of old sources and executables. I feel like a hamster, who’s desperately trying to keep those old projects.

    Yeah, USB 1.1 == USB 2.0. IIRC the notebook is USB 1.0.

    Back in the days of 1999 it was a super modern machine :-).

    I’m still considering this for current projects. Thanks.
