【 Weak current College 】 data backup strategy---Power By 【 China power house network 】

If someone asked me the most afraid of experiencing what it is, then I think crashed hard disk should be considered. Imagine your hard drive suddenly broke through your hard work and created all kinds of data are missing, this kind of attack is hard to accept. Of course, this tragic event nor inevitable. Hard drive failure did not forecast, it is possible that in the matter, it is also possible that your a big project is completed. Although you may be unable to stop the hard drive has failed, but at least you can on a hard drive failure to take preventive measures, the potential loss will be reduced to a minimum and avoid the bad happen.
I want to tell you of precautionary measures is to do a data backup. In fact, most of us know should do a data backup, but the practical work but very few people in seriously do backup, at least not very regular. Until one day, our hard drive completely ruined. Then, start to make data backup is becoming very devout, but is only temporary, time will not do.
My experience from the lessons of the "blood". These painful memories include: experienced three or four blocks of the primary hard drive suddenly fails. Each time the losses are extremely large, and the worst part is I lost several months of hard work, all kinds of music fragments, recording good sound track, arranged by mixing all disappear completely. And, the entire job completion times for delayed for a month, and then produce the tracks could not give me satisfaction. Although the ultimate music still very exciting, but it never and I have in mind those lost in music.
There are many situations can cause data loss. In the computer, the possible damage to the hard disk, power failure, SCSI interface problem, at the same time, you also prevent foreign practices, for instance, the thief, fires and floods. Anything you can't afford to lose, so from now on, will discourage data no longer produced or later backup these ideas.
Clear the importance of data backup, the following problem is you need to find a suitable for their own data backup strategy, and you want to perform strictly according to the chapter. Remember to back up your data should look like, the teeth and wash, cannot be lazy. The method described below is applicable to most of the computer and data storage devices.
It is first necessary to decide what equipment to use for backup
To ensure a sufficiently large data capacity so that you can make multiple backups at the same time. Each data backup in a different place: one copy on your computer, one copy to continue working, a drop at home cabinets, a drop in. ... In short, the place to be dispersed. If you backed up data is confidential, then we need to pay attention to not let other people get these data at will.
Every once in a week, for a full backup, such as every Sunday.
Every day, on the day of the data changes, and you want to back up the two. At the same time, also alternate data backup device data is saved in this way, at any time you can find the data yesterday and the day before yesterday. You can use DantzRetrospect (running on Mac computers and PC's two version) software for work in this area.
If you are in full accordance with the provisions of the above, then your data must have a very high level of security. For example, you use the data for backup, so you can from the previous record of tail then to copy the data on the tape until the tape recording was full, and then start over again.
On my own, on a computer that non-critical data and non-audio data, I do not carry out careful backup. In addition, I also never use backup software to do such work.
Normally, I use a computer to work with the files are relatively small (in addition to audio files) that can be easily saved to ordinary three-inch floppy disk or Zip disk. Wait until a certain time, I'll move all floppy disks, zip disks are burned in the data to the CD-r.
For me, the more important is on capacity substantial audio data for backup. Their data is somewhat too big that Zip with some platter (each Zip discs can accommodate up to 100Mbit data) does not fit all, you usually have to use several CD-R (each CD-R disc can hold 650MB data) can be a full backup. I usually don't like to throw away the old version of the data, the data volume is turning over to rise. If the work is set by the 20 or the sampling accuracy and 24bit 96kHz sample rate, file size is staggering. Burn multiple data backup CD processing is a rather lengthy process, you can use this time to drink a Cup, a break.
For normal audio data backup, my method is: I have two old hard drive, I now no longer used to record, because they are too slow and tremendous noise. Whenever the work is over, I copy all the audio data to a hard drive, the next backup, and then use another hard disk, and so used interchangeably. So then, every moment has two hard drives hold my current audio data (one is a computer's primary hard disk, a hard drive is backed up with), but then the previous day's data I could find (in addition a backup hard drive). I would also like to periodically back up the data is compressed (but not once a week), burn them to the CD-r disc.
I am not a computer, all data in the backup, because the backup application does not have any significance (the hard disk of Cakewalk software backup 10 eight course meaningless), I'm only on my own work file that is stored in the music itself. I like the original file and then copy a to continue its work, for now the price of hard drives, it can still be acceptable. In addition, there is no need for you to use very fastHard disk or storage device, Zip, Jaz, or any other drives can be used to make data backup.
My experience is that this method is fast and simple, for normal data backup is appropriate, and to do so from the beginning, now has been working very well. Therefore I dare to say so, if my hard drive in the Music Studio suddenly fails, I can in the shortest time everything returned to normal, and the minimum data loss.
In addition I would like to remind you, do not forget the synthesizer of timbre and effects settings parameters for backup. There is always that one day, a synthesizer in the random access memory-powered batteries ran out, so it saves all the settings are lost.
For data backup and is not a very painful thing. Summary of the work in a way suited to their own data backup method, and meticulous manner, but you can avoid painful happened. When one day, your hard drive when sudden failure (I'm sure there will be a day), you'll be glad you do.
