Y7 - D203 - Still Backing Up Blog
22nd July 2015

Developments


Yesterday was one of those Lazy days. Currently my laptop is doing a SyncToy backup of my GameDev and WebDev folders, which as you can probably imagine, isn't very good for it's battery! I've had the thing plugged in permanently for about a day and a half, and the damn thing's still slaving away copying hundreds and thousands of files.
Eeek!

SyncToy is a completely free tool from Microsoft, for creating mirrored backups of specific folders. You can Download SyncToy here as of July 22nd 2015, but knowing Microsoft's annoying habit of constantly restructuring their website every other day, that link will probably be out of date by the time you're reading this.

...It has to be done from scratch, since the previous FTP transfer from the old NAS to the new NAS has annoyingly removed all the dates from my files. Grrr..
Could've sworn FTP was supposed to preserve timestamps, but I guess not.
Hmm..
SyncToy does indeed preserve your timestamps, so that's good when trying to do date-based searches.

The backup NAS's contents are much more organised, now. There are multiple copies of a lot of things, and I'll have to dig through and delete a lot of stuff, later, but for now it's looking much more sorted than it used to be.
For starters, my new "Server" backup folder no longer contains things from my JNK-Sielts site that I created back in 2001!
That'll remain part of "Archive/Server/" instead, as will a WHOLE lot of other old junk!

Kept forever, but rarely ever seen...
That's how archives are supposed to be!

Now to figure out how to get to my old Midi and Mod archives from off of my older IDE drives..

Looks perfect!

Mailbag : Empty


If you'd like to stuff my mailbag, (please do!) you can do so right here, at https://bit.ly/AGAW_Mail. Send comments, questions, game ideas, thoughts and more, and they'll probably turn up here, eventually.
