Question: Will I spend best part of $1000 on new shooting gear or recover the clean 251,114 of the 251,115 files on my hard drive that crapped itself majorly while running a (failed) backup on a clean external drive? :shock:

Would you say that if you shared your PC with your partner, several associations, a couple of teams and........?

Shoot the computer. Much more stress relieving.

Yes and also hit them up for a share of the costs.

John had the same thing happen to me
When you get a new HD get solid state no moving parts and less likely to sH&%#$it themselves
Also use them to back up I have several available from that OFFICE Worx about 100 -150bucks for 1TB
Cost me $700 for data recovery on my backup drive that failed

I install SSDs for customers and have a couple myself. So far no problems. But the main advantage is speed, not reliability. They are 3-5 times faster depending on what you are doing and how fragged it gets. My mac pro boots in 15seconds

BUT when they let go there is no warning and you lose the LOT with no chance of data recovery, so a backup is just as essential as with any other computer. A portable backup drive is fine, or better two, one stored somewhere else. Cloud is OK for text and databases, but its photos that really need a local backup. I bought a blu-ray burner to try but many customers have more than 25GB of data anyways, so portable drives (working ones) are the best answer at the moment

Anyway, my crap is back home and backed up once (the stuff that Windows 8 backs). Now to break out Robocopy & write an executable for the other stuff.

John

We use Sabre IT Solutions in Brisbane at work. They've recovered a couple of HDD (IDE and SATA) for us over the years. I nearly fell over when I saw the quote from one of the 'professional' data recovery businesses.

Worth a call if you get stuck next time.

John,

Tell the police you think you have some porn on it they can recover everything, and so long as they find nothing no charge? or charges as it could be?

Great idea Daryl. I had my computer crash last month.

Just checking though, if I do take it to them, is Dwarf, scat, bondage porn illegal?

Umm? Do you really need to recover it.
